Request by the County Attorney for approval of Order Authorizing Execution of the Fifth Amendment and Renewal of the Interlocal Agreement between Harris County and Harris County Hospital District D/B/A Harris Health for Legal Representation by the Harris County Attorney’s Office.

Harris Health System (formerly Harris County Hospital District) serves hundreds of thousands of Houston-area residents with low-cost medical care. This agreement keeps legal support in place so Harris Health can keep running smoothly. Renewing it helps protect that safety-net care for the community.

This is the fifth update and renewal of an existing contract. It lets the Harris County Attorney's Office continue handling legal work for Harris Health System. The item was introduced on June 4, 2026, and is listed as a contract amendment (file 26-3922).
