An Emergency Services District is a political subdivision of the State of Texas, similar to a School District, Library District or Hospital District. Currently there are around 300 ESDs in Texas, including seven “multi-county” ESDs. By law, ESD boards must meet at least once a month. All meetings are subject to the Texas Open Meetings Act. ESDs must also comply with the Texas Public Information Act concerning open records requests and records retention.
