CYMI: Judge Hidalgo began today’s Commissioners Court by thanking Harris County residents for their support and encouraging others who might be struggling to seek mental health treatment.
Excited to have Judge Hidalgo back in the office!
Judge Hidalgo is back at work after taking leave to receive mental health treatment.
ALT I’m thrilled to be back! I’ve had a fantastic day with my staff, and I am slowly working through many supportive letters and notes. Thank you to everyone for your incredible support as I return to the office. A graphic that reads: Nobody would think twice about taking time off work to recover from a heart attack or another physical ailment, and it should be the same way for a mental illness. With the treatment I’ve received, it no longer feels like I’m in a constant fight against depression. I hope that others who are struggling will look to my experience and feel empowered to get the help they need instead of suffering in silence. Sincerely, Lina Hidalgo Harris County Judge.

We wish a full recovery for the four officers wounded during the standoff. Thank you to @HCSOTexas and all law enforcement agencies that worked tirelessly to ensure the suspect was brought to justice. We will continue to hold HCSO Deputy Anderson in our hearts as he recovers.

Mental health care affects all of us. Everyone, in Harris County and beyond, should be able to access the support they need to prioritize their mental health.

“These bills are not about election reform. They are not about improving voters’ experience. They are entirely about suppressing voters’ voices. The reasoning behind these bills is noting but a cynical charade,” said @HarrisCoJudge Lina Hidalgo. wapo.st/43n0Tqy

It appears with no quorum for vote on tax rate, the HCSO budget is now slated to be $42 million LESS. This significant reduction will derail our proactive efforts to fight crime, increase response times, and further strain jail operations. #HouNews
Today's no show and political stunt by Commissioners Cagle and Ramsey will cut our Sheriff's budget by 16 million! Total contradiction to their Back the Blue claims. Harris County doesn't deserve this abhorrent action that will put our entire Harris County communities at risk.
Judge Lina Hidalgo speaks directly to President Biden about what challenges Harris County now faces one day after Trigger Law goes into effect in Texas. "I think you[Judge Hidalgo] speak for women all over America...," President Biden.
