Hays County Emergency Services District No. 3

Emergency services districts (ESDs) are political subdivisions of the State of Texas, operating under the Constitution of Texas, Chapter 775. An ESD is much like a school district or a county. As Texas outgrows the abilities of cities and rural volunteer fire departments, ESDs are on the cutting edge of providing fire protection and emergency medical response.

The ESD's role is to collect taxes from the citizens of its respective district and utilize those revenues for emergency services. Those services provided by Hays County ESD#3 include Fire and allied services, First Responder (including EMS) ,and water rescue.  

The Commissioners of the ESD are an appointed Board by the County Commissioners to oversee and guide the various activities of the ESD and its divisions.
