Quorum Court
The Quorum Court is the legislative body of county government. These officers representing 11 districts within the county meet to conduct county business and review ordinances and resolutions for passage. The County Judge is the presiding officer over the Quorum Court without a vote, but with the power of veto. This veto can be overridden with a 3/5 vote of the total membership of the Quorum Court.
Duties of the Quorum Court include the following powers, but are not limited to:
- Adopt county ordinances and appropriate funds
- Pass taxes at the County level
- Fill vacancies in County offices
- Determine compensation for County officials, within limits set by State law
- Provide for any service or performance of any function relating to county affairs
- Exercise any other powers necessary for the effective administration of authorized services and functions
A member of the Quorum Court is referred to as a Justice of the Peace, or a "JP" for short.
