Montague County Commissioners had a short meeting Monday.
After installing some new filing systems in the district clerk’s offices, the county appears to have an overflow of filing cabinets. Thanks in part to electronic recording of many records and the mechanized filing in the district clerk’s office, the need for metal filing cabinets has waned.
Commissioner Mark Murphey, who also runs an auction company, said you can barely give them away nowadays, while Commissioner Mike Mayfield said they may make more by salvaging them to a metal recycler. Commissioner Roy Darden said it would probably cost more to advertise an auction than what they could make on selling them.
County Auditor Jennifer Essary said they can auction, salvage or take sealed bids for the items. Commissioners decided to scrap them, but be open to anyone picking up any as they load them up for salvage.

The following felony cases were returned by the Montague County Grand Jury during its November session last week.
According to the 97th District Attorney Katie Boggeman, of the 18 cases three received no bills and two were sealed awaiting arrest of the suspect.
The sealed cases include charges of possession of a controlled substance 4-200 grams and tampering with an electronic monitoring device.
The grand jury determined there was insufficient evidence to warrant indictment resulting in no bills on a charge of possession of child pornography and online solicitation of a minor against the same person.
