Each county in Texas, whether its population is 100 as in Loving County or 3.1 million as in Harris County, is divided into four electoral precincts. Voters in each precinct elect a County Commissioner every four years to represent them. Commissioners Court is at the heart of county government. The County Judge is elected countywide for the same term as commissioners. The County Judge presides over Commissioners Court, which meets every week.

The court conducts the general business of the county, including all financial matters. But to prevent abuses, the constitution established a strong system of checks and balances by creating other elective offices in each county. Voters in each precinct also elect county attorneys, county and district clerks, county treasurers, sheriffs, tax assessor-collectors, justices-of-the-peace and constables. Counties also have an auditor appointed by the district courts.
