Eddie Introduces Software Rollout Plan to Boost Fort Bend County Transparency

Published on Feb. 25, 2026

Eddie Sajjad, a candidate for Fort Bend County Judge, has introduced a software rollout plan that includes the BudgetBox App and website, as well as the IRM (Incident Reporting and Management) App and website. These tools are designed to increase transparency and make it easier for residents to understand county spending, follow key decisions, and track what happens after incidents are reported.

Why it matters

The proposed software aims to address concerns about the lack of transparency in county spending and governance, providing residents with a user-friendly way to access budget information and track the progress of reported incidents. This could lead to improved accountability and better-informed decision-making by county officials.

The details

The BudgetBox App and website would allow residents to explore how county money is allocated, view budget items in a clear structure, and track the progress of budget proposals from introduction to adoption. The IRM App and website would simplify incident reporting for residents and provide better visibility into the follow-up and outcomes of reported issues.

“People should not have to dig through hard-to-navigate documents to understand what is being funded and why. BudgetBox is designed to make that information usable.”
