OUR REGION

Councils of Governments (COGs) are voluntary associations of local governments formed under Texas law. The East Texas Council of Governments serves fourteen counties in the East Texas region.

Centrally located within the United States, East Texas is easily accessible by air, rail and road. Our region has top-notch education and workforce training institutes. And you just will not find anywhere else with the combination of rolling hills, piney woods and vast, clear lakes that comprise the largely undeveloped East Texas landscape.

I am pleased with the accountability, transparency, and efficiency ETCOG delivers for our local elected officials everyday. Frankly, ETCOG's scope and span of programs and services may be one of our region's most unfamiliar assets!

Judge Robert Johnston

I am very honored to have been elected as Board Chairman for an organization consisting of so many outstanding community leaders. I continue to enjoy working with each of them and the ETCOG staff as we collectively address the many shared concerns of our communities.
