Judges: 1 (Total District Court judges with venue over this county; vintage 2026 txcourts.gov directory + Tex. Gov't Code § 24.

Rural counties typically have 1-2 District Court judges sitting on a multi-county district. County Court at Law judges (limited jurisdiction) and Constitutional County Court judges (presided over by the elected County Judge) are separately allocated and not counted here. TX has ~474 District Court judges statewide.)
