Dallas County Passes Domestic Partner Health Benefits

This morning, the Dallas County Commissioners Court voted 3–2 along party lines to offer a $300 monthly subsidy to the same- and opposite-sex domestic partners of county employees to help them access health insurance, the equivalent of what the county contributes to an employee’s health insurance. This makes Dallas County the third county in Texas to offer domestic partner benefits, along with Travis and El Paso Counties.
