Spisak okruga Teksasa


Država Texas se dijeli na 254 okruga (county). To je država s najviše okruga u Sjedinjenim Državama.[1][2]

Karta teksaških okruga s gustoćom naseljenosti.

Texas je prvobitno bio podijeljen na opštine, jedinice lokalne samouprave pod španskom i meksičkom vlašću. Kada je Republika Texas stekla nezavisnost 1836. godine, postojale su dvadeset i tri opštine, koje su postale prvobitni okrugi Texasa. Mnogi od njih će se kasnije podijeliti u nove okruge.

Posljednji osnovani okrug je Loving County, koji je nastao 1931. godine.[3]

Sastav

uredi

Svakim okrugom upravlja sud povjerenika, koji se sastoji od četiri izabrana povjerenika (po jedan iz svake od četiri općine) i županijskog suca, kojeg biraju svi birači u okrugu.

U manjim županijama, županijski sudac zapravo obavlja sudijske poslove, ali u većim je uloga suca ograničena na rad u sudu povjerenika. Određene dužnosnike, poput šerifa i poreznika, biraju odvojeno birači, ali sud povjerenika utvrđuje budžet njihovih ureda i utvrđuje ukupnu politiku okruga.

Ukinuti okruzi

uredi

Postoji nekoliko okruga u Texasu koji danas više ne postoje, među ostalim mogu se spomenuti:

Nekad je bilo najmanje trideset i dva okruga osnovana texaškim zakonom a koja više ne postoje. Spadaju u pet kategorija:

  • punopravni okruzi;
  • okruzi osnovani Ustavnom konvencijom iz 1868–1869;
  • okruzi koji zapravo nikada nisu uspostavljene i koje su ukinute zakonodavnim aktom;
  • okruzi čija se teritorija više ne smatra djelom države;
  • i okruzi čiji su nazivi promijenjeni.[9]
