Professional Responsive Accessible Public Servants

Mission
The mission of the Montgomery County, Texas County Attorney’s Office is to provide the highest quality legal representation of Montgomery County in the most efficient and cost effective way, to be professional and responsive in all interactions with citizens and government officials, and to aid the County government in meeting the challenges of continued growth, public accountability and proper stewardship of taxes and other county resources.

Principles

We administer and implement County policies fairly and with the knowledge that the citizens of Montgomery County are the ultimate beneficiaries of our legal services.

We adhere to the highest standards of the legal profession and advise on best practices and not just bare legality so that County officials can make the best decisions relating to policies and actions for the benefit of the County and the Public.

We recognize that all County funds are public funds and strive to be good stewards of public money and resources.

Purpose

We are here to serve the people of Montgomery County by providing important legal services to County policymakers, to aggressively defend the County and its officials and employees against civil liability, and to represent the interests of the State of Texas in Juvenile Court and mental commitment proceedings, and to protect the safety and wellbeing of children in CPS and Family Violence Protective Order proceedings.

We provide legal advice and services to Commissioners Court, all elected officials, and all county departments. We are not allowed to provide legal advice to private citizens.
