The request of $4,000 is for costs associated with career fairs at universities (Sam Houston, University of Houston, Prairie View) and an exhibit booth at Texas Association of Pretrial Services in Conroe in March 2026 to recruit new staff. Costs entail registration, travel, and materials.
Expected Impact:
Since 2024, we have actively recruited at local universities, which has proven highly beneficial in attracting new graduates to the department. We anticipate filling available positions to enhance service to the County and address any potential changes in retention.
