Civic in Montague County

County government runs out of Montague — the courthouse, the county clerk, the tax assessor-collector, the sheriff’s administrative offices, and the county judge’s office all sit on or within a block of the historic courthouse square. State filings, voter registration, vehicle title work, and any office-of-record business goes through Montague.

Bowie holds the day-to-day civic infrastructure most residents use weekly: the public library, the largest of the county’s post offices, the fairgrounds where the annual Jim Bowie Days celebration runs, and most municipal services. Nocona and Saint Jo run independent municipal governments and library branches for their populations. School district administrative offices, volunteer fire stations, and city council meetings are listed below where verified. Public-meeting calendars are noted on each listing when the office publishes them.
