Like all Texas counties, El Paso County is governed by a Commissioners Court, which consists of a County Judge, who is elected county - wide, and four County Commissioners, who represent individual precincts. While the County Judge possesses some traditional powers of a judge, the County Judge functions primarily as the chief executive of the county. The County Judge presides over Commissioners Court meetings, casts one vote on Commissioners Court ( as do County Commissioners ), and lacks veto authority. The El Paso County Judge is Ruben Vogt, and the county commissioners are Carlos Leon ( Precinct 1 ), David Stout ( Precinct 2 ), Vince Perez ( Precinct 3 ), and Andrew Haggerty ( Precinct 4 ). Haggerty is a Republican, the other commissioners and the county judge are Democrats. Vogt was appointed County Judge in October 2017 by the County Commissioners, following County Judge Veronica Escobar 's resignation to run for Congress. He was previously Escobar 's chief of staff. He will serve the remainder of her term, through the end of 2018. Leon and Perez were first elected to their positions in 2012, were re-elected in 2016, and have been in office since 2013. Haggerty and Stout were first elected to their positions in 2014, and have been in office since 2015.
