Nick from Facilities requested approval to purchase an evidence locker and controller for the Medical Examiner's new office. "This is a piece of furniture and equipment for the new medical examiner's office and we ask that you approve," he said. Commissioner Rechler moved and Commissioner Dolby seconded; the court approved the purchase.

Mandy Trevino of the Medical Examiner's Office presented an updated 2026 fee schedule for services. Trevino said she compared Lubbock County's proposed fees to schedules in Tarrant, Travis, Bexar and Dallas counties to ensure regional comparability. Commissioner Rackler moved and Commissioner Dolby seconded adoption of the 2026 fee schedule; the court adopted the schedule.

During discussion commissioners and ME staff referenced readiness to occupy the new facility and a pending furniture delivery; no additional budget allocations were requested on the record.
