About the role

Fort Bend County is seeking a licensed attorney to handle general civil matters and related duties. The role involves drafting contracts, reviewing resolutions, and conducting legal research for elected officials and department directors. Applicants must have a Juris Doctor and Texas licensure, plus at least four years of related government experience. A valid driver’s license is required, with full-time or part-time employment options and generous benefits.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
