Almost 3 years and the county hasn’t figured out how to pay?

They received some help from the state:

State grants

Other costs have been offset by a state grant from the governor’s office designed to reimburse counties for expenses related to major offenses. So far, the state has awarded the county $268,527 for Twin Peaks related expenditures. The largest part of that was $190,010 that went to cover housing at the Jack Harwell Detention Center for some of the 177 bikers arrested on the day of the shootout, which left nine dead and dozens injured.

Also, the county was reimbursed $24,500 for costs of the nine autopsies and transportation of the bodies.

The city of Waco received a $248,941 grant from the Justice Department, which primarily went to cover overtime costs for officers involved at Twin Peaks.
