Welcome to the online office of your county judge.

Harris County is a remarkable place to live, an exceptional place to work, and an ideal community in which to raise a family. As your county judge, I work closely with the other members of Commissioners Court to serve you by setting an example of leadership, accountability, financial discipline and solid performance throughout county government.

I am optimistic about our future, with good reason. Growth is a product of success, and we have become a gathering place for those who seek opportunity. Our region's population is expected to double by the year 2025, with more than 200,000 new residents calling us home each year.

It is a challenge for which we are ready.

In every respect, Harris County is improving your quality of life today and protecting it for tomorrow. Fiscal responsibility is the key to serving nearly 4 million residents spread over 1,700 square miles. County services include road and bridge construction, health care, housing, social services, law enforcement, courts, juvenile and adult justice programs, homeland security, economic development, a library system, parks, and flood control. And when needed, the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is ready to meet whatever circumstances arise.

Take the time to learn more about Harris County, your elected officials and the thousands of dedicated county employees working hard to serve you every day.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you will return soon.

Respectfully,

Ed Emmett
Harris County Judge
