Lista okruga Texasa
(Preusmjereno sa stranice Spisak okruga Teksasa)
Sljedeći članak navodi sve okruge (en. County)[a] u sastavu savezne države Teksasa (Sjedinjene Američke Države).
"County" je prvostupna upravna podjela svih američkih saveznih država, a Teksas se pritom dijeli na 254 okruga, što ga čini državom s najviše okruga u savezu.[2][3]
Područje Teksasa je prvobitno bilo podijeljeno na opštine (španski: municipios), jedinice lokalne samouprave pod špansko-meksičkom vlašću (Nova Španija).[b] Godine kada je Republika Teksas (1836-1845) stekla nezavisnost (1836), postojale su 23 opštine, na osnovu kojih su zatim nastali prvi okruzi Teksasa. Mnogi od njih će se kasnije podijeliti u nove okruge. Posljednji osnovani je Loving County, nastao 1931. godine.[4]
Svakim okrugom upravlja sud povjerenika (engleski: Commissioners' court), koji se sastoji od četiri izabrana povjerenika (engleski: commissioner), po jedan iz svake od četiri opštine, i okružnog suca (engleski: county judge), kojeg biraju svi birači u okrugu.
U manjim okruzima, okružni sudac zapravo obavlja sudijske poslove, dok je u većim uloga suca ograničena na rad unutar suda povjerenika. Određene dužnosnike, poput šerifa (engleski: sheriff) i poreznika (engleski: tax collector), biraju odvojeno birači, dok sud povjerenika utvrđuje proračun njihovih ureda i utvrđuje ukupnu politiku okruga.

Postoji nekoliko okruga u Texasu koji danas više ne postoje, među ostalim mogu se spomenuti:
- Okrug Buchel je osnovan 1887. iz okruga Presidio. Godine 1897. pripojen je okrugu Brewster.
- Stari okrug Dawson je stvoren 1858. i ukinut 1866. Ne treba ga zamijeniti s drugim okrugom Dawson.
- Okrug Encinal je stvoren 1856. i ukinut 1899. da bi konačno bio uključen u okrug Webb.
- Okrug Foley je stvoren 1887. iz okruga Presidio te je 1897. pripojen okrugu Brewster.
- Okrug Greer je osnovan 1860. godine, ali je odvojen je od Teksasa presudom Vrhovnog suda SAD-a u predmetu United States v. State of Texas (1896)[11] i danas je dio jugozapadne Oklahome.
- Okrug Perdido je osnovan 1824. i zanemaren tijekom preokreta 1840-ih. Perdido je navodno ukinut 1858. i ponovno u 1871. Zapisi o pripajanju okrugu Dawson također su neuvjerljivi.
- Okrug Santa Fe u Teksasu osnovan je 1848. godine na području na koje je pravo polagala Republika Teksas, a koje je Meksiko ustupio Sjedinjenim Državama. Obuhvaćao je veliko područje od Novog Meksika, istočno od Rio Grandea, sve do južnog dijela Wyominga, koje je kasnije podijeljeno između nekoliko saveznih država. U današnjim granicama Teksasa obuhvaćao je područje kraja zvanog "Trans-Pecos" i veći dio Panhandlea. Okrug je ukinut nakon što se Teksas, u skladu s nagodbom iz 1850, odrekao svojih zapadnih teritorijalnih zahtjeva.
- Okrug Wegefarth je osnovan 1873. i ukinut 1876.
- Okrug Worth je stvoren 1850. od okruga Santa Fe i ukinut nagodbom iz 1850. godine.
Nekad je bilo najmanje 32 okruga koji su osnovani teksaškim zakonom a koji više ne postoje. Oni spadaju u pet kategorija:
- punopravni okruzi;
- okruzi osnovani Ustavotvornom skupštinom iz 1868-1869;
- okruzi koji zapravo nikada nisu uspostavljeni i koji su ukinuti zakonodavnim aktom;
- okruzi čiji se teritorij više ne smatra djelom države;
- i okruzi čiji su nazivi promijenjeni.[12]

- ↑ Engleska riječ "county" se najbolje prevodi kao "županija", prema hrvatskoj inačici, ili kao "okrug", prema srpskoj. Riječ nosi francusko etimološko podrijetlo,[1] odnosno staro-francusko, koje zatim potječe od srednjovjekovnog latinskog izraza "comitatus", koji označava teritorij pod jurisdikcijom jednog grofa ("comes"). U feudalnom sustavu grof (count, comte, Graf) je bio izravni dužnosnik Cara (usp. Sveto Rimsko Carstvo) koji je zauzimao srednjovisoki hijerarhijski položaj, odmah ispod kneza (princeps), vojvode (dux, duc, Herzog) i markiza (marquis, Markgraf).
Englezi se koriste ovom upravnom podjelom još od vremena ustrojavanja prvih anglosaskih struktura vlasti (v. historija Engleske), kombinirajući anglogermanske oblike ("shire") s latinsko-imperijalnima ("comitatus"). Od normanskog osvajanja (1066) nadalje, engleski jezik je oživio znatnu francusizaciju i romanizaciju, što je dovelo do širokog prihvaćanja izraza kao što su "county", "court"(sud) i "judge" (sudac). Na tlo Amerike riječ "county" naravno dolazi s Englezima. U kolonijalnoj Virginiji 1634. su osnovani prvi osam "shires", mada je izraz "county" već se naveliko koristio, a 1642. se bilježi u dokumentima izraz "county court". - ↑ U Nova Španiji ("Virreinato de Nueva España", 1535-1821) područja današnjeg američkog Teksasa i meksičke Coahuile su bila pod nadzorom pokrajina "Nueva Extremadura" i "Nuevas Filipinas".
- ↑ Brojevi američkih okruga FIPS (FIPS county code), točnije: Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 6-4.
- ↑ Kada je Republika Teksas (1836-1845) stekla svoju neovisnost 1836. godine, 23 općine postale su izvorni teksaški okruzi (engleski: counties): Austin, Bastrop, Bexar, Brazoria, Colorado, Goliad, Gonzales, Harris, Jackson, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Matagorda, Milam, Nacogdoches, Red River, Refugio, Sabine, San Augustine, San Patricio, Shelby, Victoria, Washington.[8][9]
- ↑ Presidios su bile utvrde koje je Špansko Carstvo osnivalo uglavnom između 16. i 18. stoljeća na područjima pod svojom kontrolom ili utjecajem. Izraz potječe od latinske riječi "praesidium", što znači zaštita ili obrana.
