Statutory duties of the County Executive Committee include collecting filing fees; appointing poll watchers; determining the order of names on the ballot; canvassing primary results; and setting and publicizing times and places for County and State Conventions. Additional required responsibilities are outlined in the Texas Election Code. 

​

In addition to its statutory duties, the County Executive Committee shall have primary responsibility for planning and coordinating the General Election campaigns of the Democratic Party’s nominees within the county. In the case of nominees running for office in districts which include areas outside of the county, the County Executive Committee shall work with the Senatorial District Committee. This responsibility shall include raising funds for conducting local campaigns, supporting the statewide effort for the entire ticket, producing materials and coordinating local services for all Democratic campaigns. 

​

The County Executive Committee may establish such committees as it deems appropriate to carry out its non-statutory duties and may elect or appoint committee members who are not members of the County Executive Committee. Unless the County Executive Committee’s continuing rules provide for such committees to elect their own Chair, the Chair of such committees may be elected or appointed by the County Executive Committee. The term of office of the Chair of such committees shall run concurrently with the term of office of the County Executive Committee.
