One question that has come up several times in the last few months is “Who is responsible for ___________?”. One thing is for sure…county government is complicated. In the next few articles, I’ll try to shed a little light on some of our county officials and the role that their offices play in governing Madison County. The first step would be to provide a list of County offices, so that we have a starting point. Make no mistake…EVERY county office serves a vital role. We are all members of the same team… and we serve YOU, the citizens of Madison County! At the risk of leaving someone out, I’ll offer this list of offices that are housed in County facilities as a starting point: County Judge, County Commissioners, Criminal District Attorney, County Clerk, District Judges, District Clerk, County Treasurer, Sheriff, Jail/Dispatch officers, Tax Assessor- Collector, Justice(s) of the Peace, Constable(s), County Auditor, Emergency Management, Veterans Affairs Officer, Elections Administrator, County Library, Designated Representative, County Extension Agent, Adult Probation, Juvenile Probation and the DPS Driver License Office.
