KAUFMAN COUNTY, Texas — Two former Kaufman County commissioners paid restitution in lieu of prosecution and further investigation into the extension of County Road 273 beyond the county’s road maintenance system.

In late 2016, then-Commissioner Kenneth Schoen was accused of extending CR 273 by approximately 500 feet, from approximately 2,640 feet to approximately 3,141 feet, without receiving prior approval of the commissioners’ court and without following the court’s procedures to add a road to the county’s road maintenance system. The road was also improved from a rock road to an asphalt road.
