County Clerk

Without county clerks, many of government's underlying responsibilities would go undone.

The main duties of the county clerk are:

Administering all county and state elections, including early voting and primaries, unless the commissioners court has transferred the function to the tax assessor-collector or an office of county election administrator;
Serving as clerk of the county court and the commissioners court and keep records of the proceedings;
Acting as recorder of deeds and other instruments;
Filing and recording birth and death certificates;
Recording assumed names, wills and probate;
Issuing marriage licenses; and

Accounting for all funds paid to the office by way of fines and fees, and the amount owed to county court jurors for service. In Texas counties with a population of less than 8,000, unless there has been a special election, the county clerk also serves as the district clerk, assuming all constitutional and statutory duties of the district clerk, along with those of county clerk.
