Texas HB4259 allows counties with populations over 100,000 to employ a county purchasing agent.

Texas HB4259 amends the Local Government Code to allow the commissioners court in counties with populations over 100,000 to employ a county purchasing agent. This provision applies regardless of whether the county commissioners' court has already appointed a purchasing agent or abolished the position. If the commissioners court employs a county purchasing agent, the county commissioners' court must remove any existing agent appointed by the board and transfer authority over the purchasing agent to the commissioners court.
