Hays Precinct 2 Ledger

Projects

Records are grouped by category and carry the county's own precinct label. Open any record for scope, funded and unfunded phases, schedule, partners, changes since 31 August, and sources.

Funding programs behind Precinct 2 projects

Hays County pays for capital projects through voter-approved bonds, certificates of obligation issued by the Commissioners Court without an election, interlocal awards to cities, the general fund, and partner money from TxDOT, CAMPO and cities. These are the programs every Precinct 2 record traces to, and what each one currently covers.

How a phase comes to be funded or unfunded

The county funds projects phase by phase, and each project page states which phases have money. The mechanics differ by category.

Roads

Road projects move through right-of-way acquisition, design, utility relocation and construction, and the county funds each phase separately. The 2024 road bond was intended to fund all four phases across the program; after the election was voided in June 2025, the county authorized $240M in certificates of obligation sized to carry every project through its pre-construction phases and to fund construction on the eight projects nearest to ready. In Precinct 2 that produced construction funding for Hillside Terrace, pre-construction funding for Windy Hill and the RM 150 East study, and right-of-way funding only for FM 2001 Gap.

A phase marked "not funded" on a county page is one that waits on a future funding action: sale of bonds under the reinstated 2024 authorization once the litigation ends, a further issuance under the $240M CO authorization (about $53M has not been issued), or a partner contribution. FM 2001 and RM 150 are state highways, so construction on them also requires TxDOT agreements and, in practice, TxDOT or CAMPO participation.

County facilities

The $100M facility certificates of obligation issued in early 2026 cover construction of the Eastside Campus and the county's share of the regional animal care facility. On both, the funding exists and the open item is a site: the Eastside Campus site selection was reopened in June 2026, and the animal facility's design contract is paused while the City of Kyle, which will own and operate it, decides on a location and scale.

Parks and open space

The 2020 parks bond funds county parks directly and makes fixed awards to cities and partner organizations through interlocal agreements. For the Precinct 2 records the county's contribution is the award itself; design, construction and opening dates are set by the City of Kyle and are not published on county pages. Award amounts for the two trail projects are not published.

Water and wastewater

Hays County does not operate a water or wastewater utility and has no rate base, so it has no recurring source for sewer construction. The Hillside Terrace project has a completed design and a $12M estimate; the county's FY26 request for outside funding was not filled, and the countywide water study approved in January 2026 is reviewing centralized-sewer options for the neighborhood. Its recommendation, due around December 2026, is the next step on record.

Precinct 2 in the 2024 bond order and the 2025 CO notice

The 2024 bond order listed the projects by precinct with a precinct total of about $104M for Precinct 2. The 2025 certificate of obligation notice repeated the project list without per-project amounts; funded phases below come from each project's county page.

Funding status by project

All Precinct 2 records, with the program each traces to, the phases that have money, and the stated reason any phase does not.

Schedule by phase

Published phase windows from the county's project pages and court actions, one lane per phase, grouped by category. The right-hand column gives the completion date where the county has published one; where it has not, the column says so and each unscheduled phase carries the county's stated reason.

Pending decisions and reviews

Items on the public record whose outcome determines a Precinct 2 project's next phase — court rulings, funding actions, partner votes, agency agreements and study deliverables — with the date each is expected and the next public step.

Record of actions

Commissioners Court actions, court rulings, partner-agency votes and budget actions that affected a Precinct 2 project, in date order.
