There has been a discrepancy between the candidates for county judge, Paul Lilly (I) and Shane Britton, regarding the workload of the county court under Judge Lilly. 

Lilly and Britton both have shared different sets of numbers with the public.

The number of cases handled by the county court, and other court systems, is public knowledge in Texas and can be found on the Texas Office of Court Administration’s website. You can also submit a public information request through the office of the Brown County Judge to obtain these figures.
