Honorable Terry McEachern
District Attorney
64th & 242nd Judicial Districts
Hale County Courthouse

Dear Mr. McEachern:
You ask whether salary increases purportedly given
elected county officials in the budget adopted by the
commissioners court for the year beginning January 1, 1988,
are valid.
You have furnished this office with a copy of the
budget that indicates that a five per cent raise be given to
all elected officials (designating each office separately
and reflecting the 1987 and 1988 salaries), effective
January 1, 1988. The budget was filed in the office of the
county clerk on September 28, 1987; it was adopted on that
date. The minutes of the commissioners court you have
furnished us show that notice was given of the "hearing on
county budget." The notice provided as follows:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN by Order of the
County of Hale COMMISSIONERS' COURT that a
Public Hearing on the County Budget of Hale
County, Texas, will be held on the 28th day
of September, 1987, at 10:00 A.M., at the
Courthouse, First Floor, Plainview, Texas
79072.
ALL TAX PAYERS are invited to be present
and participate in the hearing.
Given under my hand and seal of the
Commissioners' Court of the County of Hale,
Texas.- S(PREII: COURT HEILDING TI
