Cothren to lead regional association

Cass County Commissioner Paul Cothren was elected president of the North & East Texas County Judges and Commissioners Association on July 15. The Association is a 74-county subregion of the County Judges and Judges Association of Texas (CJCAT).

The CJCAT is a statewide organization comprised of county judges and county commissioners with more than 1,200 active members. Both the CJCAT and its regional associations promote the interests of county government through continuing education and active participation in governmental affairs, particularly the Texas Legislature.

“The people of Texas and the members of the North & East Texas County Judges and Commissioners Association will be well served by the leadership provided by Commissioner Cothren and the other officers,” said Jim Allison, general counsel of the CJCAT. “We look forward to a successful year for the organization.”
