County government is an essential part of the Texas governmental system. Often referred to as the government “closest to the people,” county government delivers many critical services that sustain the quality of life for its citizens. Among its many duties are providing public safety and emergency services, maintaining county roads, administering health care services, presiding over criminal and civil courts, conducting elections, and preserving natural resources. County government is made up of the people who are elected to accomplish such tasks, and the employees who support them.

For over 175 years, the elected officials and employees of Travis County have been driving the county government’s role in the community and shaping our rich history. This History Day, Travis County took the opportunity to thank former elected officials and employees for their dedication to the citizens of Travis County and collectively recognize their contributions.
