During the Freestone County Commissioners Court meeting held on October 1, 2025, significant administrative and personnel decisions were addressed that will impact the county’s operations moving forward.
The Freestone County Clerk’s Office required a Data & Image Sublicense Consent Agreement to be signed to process open records requests through GovOS, which manages the county’s land records. The office handles both bulk requests and open record requests. Bulk requests involve a one-time request of all records for a specific company or land parcel, while open record requests grant access to all records in the system with ongoing updates as changes occur.
Under this agreement, GovOS will handle all customer interactions directly, bypassing the County Clerk’s Office. GovOS will charge customers an annual fee of $6,600 per customer, of which Freestone County will receive $3,300 annually for each customer.
LJ McAdams publicly announced his intention to run for Precinct 3 Constable during a regular meeting held on September 17, 2025. On September 30, 2025, a special meeting was convened that included discussions on the appointment process for the vacant Precinct 3 Constable position.
After careful consideration, LJ McAdams was officially appointed to the role during this meeting.
The following morning, October 1, 2025, he took the oath of office and was formally sworn in as Precinct 3 Constable, marking an important milestone in his public service career and beginning a new chapter dedicated to serving the community.
