Welcome!

Your actions during these first months in office will have a huge effect on your overall effectiveness in your first term. This section of our site was developed for newly elected officials to provide you with vital information and resources for your transition into public office.

First, we want to introduce you to one of your most important resources: the Texas Association of Counties. Beyond your county lines, you have a staff of more than 100 people to assist you with questions you may have in a wide variety of areas. Our toll-free number is (800) 456-5974.

Again, congratulations and welcome aboard.
