Re: . Whether the commissionerscourt is required to
salaries designated by the
board under article 5142b.approve
juvenileDear Mr. Simmons:
You have asked if the commissioners court of a county operating under
article 5142b, V.T.C.S., is required to approve the budget for compensation
of juvenile probation officers submitted by the juvenile board.
Article 5142b provides in part:
Section 3. ... The number of such Assistant
Probation Officers shall be determined by the
Juvenile Board subject to the approval of the
Commissioners Court, provided such power of
appointment and confirmation shall become effective
immediately upon final passage of this Act, and the
budget shall be amended, if necessary, to provide
sufficient funds for the operation of this Act.
Section 5. The compensation of all probation
officers shall be fixed by the Juvenile Board subject
to the approval of the County Commissioners Court,
which shall be not less than Three Thousand, Six
Hundred Dollars ($3,600) per annum for the Chief
Probation Officer, and not less than One Thousand,
Eight Hundred Dollars ($1,800) per annum for
Assistants or Deputies.
An identical statutory formulation, article 332a, V.T.C.S., was
considered in Attorney General Opinion H-908 (1976). There it was said that
the salaries set by the appointing officer were not final but were conditionedp. 43
