The Commissioners Court of each county is composed of four
commissioners and the county judge. The county judge, as a member of the
commissioners court, is vested with the same authority to make motions and vote
on all matters as each commissioner.
There are two types of terms for the Commissioners Court. A
regular term, which is held once each month, and a special term, which may be
called at any time. A session of the Commissioners Court is simply that period
of time at which the court is actually sitting and discharging its duties during
the term, recesses included.
Fayette County Commissioners Court meets every second and fourth
Monday of each month in room 303 of the Courthouse.
Functions of the Commissioners Court:
-
To supervise and control the county courthouse, county buildings

pension/retirement plans for county officials and employees
