Tarrant County is contemplating a significant reorganization of its criminal courts' administration. The proposal involves dozens of staff members, currently serving in the criminal courts, being restructured to report directly to the county administrator. This move aims to make these employees available to serve across other courts within the county, not just the criminal courts. The Tarrant County commissioners are scheduled to meet to discuss this reorganization, amid concerns about its potential impact. Additionally, the reorganization is being considered because some employees reportedly work only '10 hours' a week. In response to these issues, the commissioners plan to establish a new committee focused on finding ways to reduce the county jail population and prevent financial mismanagement at the courthouse.
