The simple answer is "No". Thelma Claire (T.C.) Rogers was never heard of again, and Boss resumed responsibilty for the Duke Boys probation.

Yea I knew she was never heard of again but I just didnt know if they had given an explanation as to how boss got his position back.

If you double check you'll find that it wasn't the position of "County Commissioner" that Boss lost. It was a different title. I can't remember exactly what it was called but since it's never mentioned again in the series we can assume Boss either got it back or abolished it and just took over the duties that the position entailed.

The position is called County Administrator

One of the fun (or sometimes, one of the semi annoying) things about the series, is how many of Boss's powers and positions would change from episode to episode. For example, sometimes he would be able to pull off huge plots with no trouble as it was 'in his power' to do so, but on other occasions he really had to scheme and hussle to get them through. It was very much down to who was writing the episode that week.

Also, the series does have a habit of effectively pressing the reset button after most episodes, as in the events in one episode very seldom have a (direct) affect on any other episode. In one way this was always fun, but on the other hand, especially during the last couple of seasons, began to limit the show and prevent it from developing any further, which didn't help it's increasingly formulaic nature and might be argued was ultimately part of it's demise. I believe I've heard Ben Jones and a couple of other cast members air similar thoughts to this.
