Harris County Precinct 2 Constable seeks court approval for seven federal overtime reimbursement agreements, capped at $35,000 total.
The Harris County Constable for Precinct 2 is asking Commissioners Court to approve seven overtime reimbursement agreements with the federal Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) program. OCDETF partners federal, state, and local law enforcement to investigate drug trafficking and money laundering. Under these agreements, OCDETF repays local officers for overtime worked on approved investigations. Total reimbursement cannot exceed $5,000 per case or $35,000 across all seven cases. The item is scheduled for the July 9, 2026 Commissioners Court meeting.
This decides if Precinct 2 Constable deputies can get their overtime pay covered by federal funds when working on drug and money laundering investigations, instead of using county money.
