Responsibilities of the County Judge in Texas:

Presiding officer of the commissioners court.
Represents the county in many administrative functions.
Serves as budget officer in counties with fewer than 225,000 residents.
Most have broad judicial duties, such as presiding over misdemeanor criminal and small civil cases, probate matters and appeals from the Justice of the Peace Court.
Serves as head of emergency management.

As a member of CERT, I am particularly attuned to this one.
