Montgomery County is moving forward with architectural work for a proposed new justice center as officials weigh whether to place a funding measure before voters in November.

Commissioners unanimously approved selecting Dallas-based Brinkley Sargent Wiginton Architects, also known as BSW Architects, for the project during a July 9 meeting. A contract outlining the scope, cost and payment schedule will come back to the court for approval.

What you need to know: The selection allows the county to begin refining plans and developing a more reliable cost estimate for the proposed courthouse. BSW architect Charlie Goodman said the firm would build from an earlier facility study rather than start from scratch, but the existing plans would need to be reviewed and updated.

Commissioners have not approved a bond election or finalized how the justice center would be funded. However, officials discussed the possibility of taking a bond proposal to voters in November.

In Texas, 246 of the state’s 254 counties are designated by the federal government as “mental health professional shortage areas,” meaning local law enforcement are often tasked with responding to mental health crisis calls.

The situation: All Texas peace officers are required to complete crisis intervention and deescalation trainings, according to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement.

What's happening: Across Community Impact’s coverage areas, some city and county law enforcement agencies are partnering with local mental health professionals to respond to crisis calls. However, law enforcement and criminal justice leaders from smaller communities told state legislators July 7 that they have “limited tools” to effectively respond to mental health calls and help people in crisis.

“We do not have any inpatient mental health facilities in my county—we've never had that, and we've needed them for decades,” Comal County Criminal District Attorney Jennifer Tharp said July 7. “We originally started out sending individuals to the San Antonio area, and right now we are transporting individuals for inpatient treatment to North Austin.”
