Crane County, Texas
Created 1886 and Organized 1927


District Attorney

Until 1956, the 109th Judicial District was made up of six counties, Andrews, Crane, Loving, Reeves, Ward, and Winkler.  In 1956, the Texas Legislature divided the district and the 109th became Andrews, Crane, and Winkler Counties.

The District Attorney could have been a resident of any of the counties in the district and therefore not necessarily a resident of Crane County.
