DISCUSSION
During the 1995 regular session, the Texas Legislature adopted an amendment to Article 102.017 of
the Code of Criminal Procedure to allow the governing body of a municipality to create, by ordinance, a
Municipal Court Building Security Fund Defendants convicted in trial for a misdemeanor offense in
Municipal Court are required to pay a $3.00 security fee as a cost of the court.
On October 10, 1995, Ordinance No 12204 was approved by the City Council to create the Municipal
Court Building Security Fund. The fund can only be used for the purposes of providing security
services for buildings that house a municipal court. This can include the purchase of parcel x-ray
machines, hand-held and walk-through metal detectors, security personnel providing security services
and continuing education on security issues for court and security personnel
On June 20, 2000 (M&C G-12942), the City Council approved the implementation of the Municipal
Court Building Security Enhancement Plan The plan authorized a Senior Deputy City Marshal and
eight Deputy City Marshal positions dedicated to building security functions.
Initial funding, as appropriated, covered the 4th Quarter FY1999-2000 operating costs. The FY2000-
2001 adopted budget estimated $313,089 00 for Building Security operations, however, actual salaries
and departmental support total $487,460 12. The Municipal Court Building Security Fund balance,
currently totaling $1,145,625 00, is sufficient to cover the additional expenditures, and provide for full
reimbursement of all FY2000-2001 court security expenditures.
The supplemental appropriation ordinance is necessary in order to reimburse the General Fund for
actual building security expenditures incurred during the FY2000-2001 The reimbursement of court
security costs from the Municipal Court Building Security Fund is allowed under state law
