BOERNE — The Kendall County Commissioners Court opted to halt progress on a new county court-at-law or appointing its first presiding office until the new county judge and commissioners take office next year.

County Judge Darrell Lux, Precinct 3 Commissioner Richard Elkins and Precinct 4 Commissioner Don Durden step down in January. Early voting is Oct. 24 to Nov. 4 and Election Day is Nov. 8.

Elkins argued a growing backlog of cases hastens the need to appoint a county court-at-law judge now and not wait on a future election, but his colleagues disagreed, adding it should be up to voters to decide down the road.
