More than a year after seven employees from the Maverick County Auditors office filed an employment discrimination complaint against Auditor Sandra Watkins with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOCC), the Maverick Commissioners Court has settled the case with the accusing employees.

On May 22, 2017 Judicial District Judge Cynthia L. Muniz issued an official letter of Formal Voluntary Recusal on the Tomas S. Herrera v. Maverick County legal proceedings, handing the issue over to the Fourth Administrative Judicial Region of Texas to proceed with an order of assignment on the matter.
