COUNTY COMMISSIONER

It is my esteemed honor to welcome you to Fort Bend County. I am so proud to serve as the county judge and preside over the 10th largest county in Texas, with the most ethnically diverse population in the United States. With a population of nearly 850,000 residents, we are destined to exceed one million people by 2025. Many families and young professionals live in Fort Bend County making our county an ideal place to live, work, and raise a family. Although we’ve had an unprecedented two years, amid a global pandemic, I am filled with hope when I see how our county responded to our testing and vaccination efforts from the wave of COVID-19 that has swept the country. I’m proud to say that over 78% of Fort Bend’s population, aged 5 years and older, and 98% of the population 65 and older are fully vaccinated, making Fort Bend County even more attractive by being a health-conscious constituency. I am proud to work with our county leaders, economic development councils, chambers of commerce, and businesses to redefine how government engages with our citizens and our business owners to deliver the best county service and support. Recently, Fort Bend County was named The 15th Best County to Live in America by Niche.com. One of the top reasons people move to Fort Bend County is for our schools. Fort Bend school districts rank as some of the best school districts in the state. Our students are well served by exceptional primary and secondary education school districts such as Brazos ISD, Fort Bend ISD, Katy ISD, Lamar Consolidated ISD, Needville ISD, and Stafford MSD. From metropolitan living in Sugar Land to the master-planned communities of Missouri City or the charm of Fulshear, Needville, Stafford, Arcola, Village of Pleak, and Thompsons, to the history-rich communities of Richmond, Kendleton, and Rosenberg, Fort Bend County is a mix of communities that has something for everyone.
