Comp time questions loom in Texas payroll case
Weir-Nutter faces possible state jail felony charges over comp time tampering with government records. Texas Rangers and the Texas Attorney General’s Office have been seeking payroll sheets and time-off records since last October. County officials dispute misreporting, stating training and policies exist, while Weir-Nutter says the error was clerical. The case threads through statements by Suzan Houston and others, with political stakes rising as Weir-Nutter challenges Scott Layh in the Republican primary set for May 29, with early voting May 14 to 25.
