Montgomery County commissioners are set to discuss 2026 property tax exemptions, the county’s 2025 road bond program and design services for a Montgomery County Justice Center during a July 9 meeting.

What you need to know: According to the agenda packet, commissioners will consider taking action on county ad valorem exemptions for tax year 2026. The item includes homestead, 65-and-older, and disabled exemptions.
The court is also expected to receive the 2025 road bond program financial report. Montgomery County voters approved the $480 million road bond in May 2025 to fund mobility projects across the county.

The court could also approve the creation of new district courts, a county court at law and a probate court.

Texas Litter Control is a low-cost spay-and-neuter clinic with locations across Harris County, Montgomery County and the surrounding areas.

The backstory: TLC’s first location was in an 800-foot FEMA trailer located in Spring, Texas.

What happened: After hearing about the struggles with local animal clinic The Greater Good, Love said TLC stepped in to help.

The Greater Good Veterinarian Dr. Dallas Kuehl was the first veterinarian Love used when she started in animal rescue work.

Why it matters: Love said while she was honored to help keep Kuehl’s legacy alive through clinic operations, there have been challenges along the way.

More details: Texas Litter Control has always been based on word of mouth, Love said. She said that the community has been its greatest support and best advertisers. 

To keep Greater Good operating and  continue supporting TLC, she wants the community to know that they can help by spreading the word they are open six days a week through social media to remind everyone that it’s there to serve.
