Don't you just hate it when someone says that? In this case, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbot issued opinion GA-0760. This opinion should create two problems for McLennan County Sheriff Larry Lynch and County Judge Jim Lewis. For Larry, it makes clear that the Sheriff can not receive money from a private company that does business with the county. For Jim Lewis, it makes clear the existing contracts with the private company paying off the Sheriff are void.
Here are the links for more info. I will be following up on this soon.

What I would like to know is if taxpayers payed for Haley and Olson to file the brief with the attorney general on opinion GA-760?
