Pecos County

Pecos County is an administrative division in western Texas that covers a vast territory marked by desert landscapes and open spaces. The county spans hundreds of square miles across this region and manages its operations from Fort Stockton.

The area was settled in the 1800s when Fort Stockton was established as a military outpost in this remote region. This facility later became the administrative center for the developing county.

The Pecos County Commissioners Court maintains regular meetings at the courthouse, fostering community involvement in local governance and decision-making processes.

Visitors and residents can access services and documents at the courthouse in Fort Stockton, which is the main administrative hub for the county. This central location serves as the primary contact point for official matters and local government operations.

The county maintains multiple district courts, including the 83rd and 112th judicial districts, serving the administrative needs of this western Texas region.
