Comment:

This approval is to begin the transfer will allow our office to deal with the delay in processing warrants due to the backlog in traffic and criminal citations caused by the manual entry of all Sheriff, Texas Tech, Parks and Wildlife, Hospital District, and DPS citations.  Using our small overtime budget and helped by our IT department accepting e-filing of DPS citations we have been able to reduce the backlog of citations completely and are now current on all entry of citations.  We need the additional funds to allow us to become current on issuing warrants for defendants who have not come to court.
