Commissioners Court regulating growth

Some are small, maybe 10 or 15 tracts, but some are much larger in the 50 to 100 home site range. But regardless of the size, the Commissioners Court takes each one seriously and we are working to ensure that the developers follow our current subdivision regulations while we are working to strengthen those regulations.
