County Judge, Bexar County, Texas
Nelson William Wolff was appointed Bexar County Judge in 2001 and was elected to the office by the voters of Bexar County in November 2002. With his colleagues on the Commissioners Court and at the City, he has worked to promote greater economic development in Bexar County, including the successful efforts to lure Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Sino Swearingen Aircraft and the PGA Village to locate here. For two years in a row, Wolff has presided over reductions in the county tax rate. He has also successfully worked to address our region's transportation and energy challenges by creating the Metropolitan Partnership for Energy and San Antonio Mobility Coalition while serving as its chairman. The effort to restore the Bexar County Courthouse is being led by Judge Wolff and his wife, Tracy, through the Hidalgo Foundation.
