@Cyber Liberty like the artical states, she is not an actual Judge in the sense of presiding over civil or criminal proceedings and giving verdicts. The city of Houston (mostly in Harris County with some in Fort Bend Co) does have a Mayor and city council but that does not cover all of the county. Counties in Texas are divided into county precincts (mine has 5) with each having an elected County Commissioner. The council they sit on is the Court of Couny Commissioners. The head of this "court" is a county wide elected position known as the County Judge. The county court of commissioners dosn't hear cases, they are responsible for county business.
Much like Trump has put state Governors in charge of managing the details in their own state, Abbot has done the same to the County Judges. He has already slapped her down once when she announced that masks would be mandatory and there would be fines for non-compliance. He will keep her in line.
She is dumber than a bag of rocks with zero experience (had never even attended a commissioner's court meeting) and rode into office on Beto's coattails.
