Editing Harris County, Texas (section)

==Administration by judiciary==
The chief administrative officer of a Texas County, as set up in the [[Texas Constitution]], is the [[County Judge]], who sits as the chair of the county's [[Commissioners' Court]] (the equivalent of a [[Board of Supervisors]] in some other states). In 2019, Judge [[Lina Hidalgo]] was sworn in as the County Judge. The county is split into four geographical divisions called precincts. Each precinct elects a [[Commissioner]] to represent them on the commissioners court and oversee county government functions in the precinct.

Other elected positions in Harris County include a [[County Attorney]], a [[County Clerk]], a [[District Attorney]], a [[court clerk|District Clerk]], a [[Sheriff]], eight [[Constable]]s, a Tax Assessor-Collector, a [[treasurer|County Treasurer]], and every judge in the county except municipal judges, who are appointed by the mayors and confirmed by city councils of their respective cities.

Many of the organs of the Harris County government reside in the Harris County Campus in [[Downtown Houston]].
