About the office

The Governor of Texas is the elected head of the state’s executive branch. The governor signs or vetoes bills passed by the Texas Legislature, appoints many state officials, sets state priorities, and can call lawmakers back for special sessions. The governor also helps coordinate statewide emergency response, such as during severe weather or disasters.

For a Gainesville resident, the governor’s work can affect state roads, public safety priorities, disaster aid, business rules, and services run by Texas agencies. The governor does not run Gainesville city government, Cooke County government, local schools, or local police. The governor also cannot make laws alone because the Legislature writes laws and the courts decide legal disputes.
