30 ASer the Budget is Adopted Aborney General Opinion GA (from 2003) Commissioners Court has discre7onary authority to approve an expenditure proposed by a county officer aser the annual budget is adopted, although the court may not, by refusing to approve a requested expenditure, interfere with an elected officer s ability to perform his or her du7es. Commissioners Court may not freeze a vacant posi7on or impose other condi7ons that interfere with an elected officer s authority to appoint an employee of his or her choosing to a posi7on that is established in the budget. Commissioners Court may amend the budget by transferring funds from one budgeted line item to another without declaring an emergency.
