The County Auditor is appointed for a two year term by the 29th Judicial
District Judge, under Local Government Code Section 84.002. This act was
established as one aspect of the “checks and balances” system for County
government. The office of County Auditor is neither created by nor under the
hierarchical control of the administrative body – the Commissioners
Court.
The County Auditor maintains the integrity of financial
administration in county government, and has oversight of all financial books
and records of all officers of the County. The primary duties and
responsibilities of the County Auditor are to strictly enforce laws governing
county finances; administer the county budget, as approved by the Commissioners
Court; and conduct detailed reviews of all county financial operations.
