Judicial and Defunct Counties

In addition to 254 existing counties, Texas has a number of counties no longer in existence. Eleven of them were known as judicial counties. In 1842, the Texas Supreme Court declared all judicial counties to be unconstitutional and they ceased to exist. Researchers should be careful not to confuse judicial counties with existing counties of the same name. Also, an old Dawson County ceased to exist in 1866 and had no territory in the new Dawson County. Miller County is now part of Arkansas.
