Justice of Peace Members

JPs enact ordinances related to the county’s property and its maintenance and improvements, including roads, bridges, buildings, vehicles, and other items owned by the county. The full-time elected county administrator, who presides over the quorum court, is the county judge. Neither JPs nor the county judge have any judicial authority, though they do have the power to preside over civil marriages. Justices of the Peace are elected every two years to these partisan offices.
