Richard GoreContract to Collect Fines & Costs
CCP Art. 103.0031 allows counties to contract with private parties to collect delinquent fines and court costs. If the judges of the courts from which the fines and costs arise do not want to refer the cases for collection, is there anything a commissioners court can do to force them? Are these contracts enforceable at all?
