GEORGETOWN, Texas (KXAN) — At Tuesday's commissioner court meeting, Williamson County leaders heard more details about a competency restoration program at the county's jail – this would speed up time inmates with mental illness receive treatment in order to stand trial. The program is being lead by the Williamson County Sheriff's Office and Bluebonnet Trails Community Services, which provides mental health services across the county. During the meeting, BTCS Executive Director Andrea Richardson said an application has already been submitted to Texas Health and Human Services for $500,000 in funding.
