Denton County's Commissioners Court Meets Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 9 a.m.

The Nov. 3 election is behind us. The part where the results actually start showing up in county decisions begins Tuesday, Nov. 17.

Denton County's Commissioners Court holds its first regular session since Election Day at 9 a.m. at the Administrative Courthouse, 1 Courthouse Drive in Denton. If your precinct sent someone new to the court, this is where the governing machinery starts turning again.

The court is the county's general governing body — not a judicial court, despite the name. It includes the County Judge, elected countywide, plus four commissioners elected from individual precincts. Together they set county policy, approve budgets, oversee roads, and handle the contracts and interlocal agreements that reach communities across the county, including Flower Mound and Highland Village.

The Nov. 17 agenda had not been posted as of Saturday, Nov. 7. Agendas go up ahead of each meeting at dentoncounty.gov/agenda. Check there before Tuesday, Nov. 17 to see what's on the table. Meetings are open to the public, and the county archives video through its Granicus broadcast page, so you can catch the recording after the session if the drive to Denton doesn't work for you.

If you have a road matter, a plat, a contract, or a public comment before the court, pull up the agenda when it posts to confirm your item is scheduled.
