The Cooke County Attorney is the lawyer for Cooke County government. This office gives legal advice to county officials, reviews county legal documents, and represents the county in some civil legal matters. It helps make sure county business is done within Texas law.

For residents, the office is most often connected to local misdemeanor cases, juvenile cases, and certain protective-order matters. More serious felony cases are usually handled by the district attorney, not the county attorney. The county attorney does not act as a private lawyer for residents or give personal legal advice.
