Texas Counties Deliver – learn how county government serves you
March 3, 2026 - All Precincts, Early Voting and Election Day will be at the Mitchell County Courthouse.

Welcome to Mitchell County, Texas

Mitchell County, located in the heart of West Texas, is known for its strong ties to ranching, oil, and wind energy. The county seat, Colorado City, sits near the Colorado River and has a rich history dating back to the late 1800s. Once a key stop along early cattle trails and railroads, the area maintains its rural character while embracing modern energy development. With wide-open landscapes, historic sites, and a close-knit community, Mitchell County reflects the resilient spirit of West Texas.
