Background and Discussion:
On September 18, 2025, the Harris County Commissioners Court approved changing the Regular Court and Business Court Meeting start time to 9 a.m. beginning in January 2026 to align with the new Commissioners Court calendar. This item would implement the time change sooner to ensure that most official business is complete prior to the 4 p.m. resolutions break each Court date.
Expected Impact: Meeting start times change to 9 AM.
Alternative Options: Status Quo, meetings start at 10 AM until January 1, 2026.
