About ESD 9

Burnet County Emergency Services District No. 9 (BCESD9) was created with area voter approval in November 2013 of a citizen petition filed with the Burnet County, Texas Commissioners Court.

  • Texas Emergency Services Districts are managed by a Board of Emergency Services Commissioners consisting of five individuals who satisfy the requirements of Ch. 775 (including District residency or real property ownership in the District).

  • Board members are appointed by the Burnet County Commissioners Court to staggered 1 or 2 year terms of office.  

  • By internal policy adopted by the BCESD9 Commissioners, all BCESD9 Commissioners are volunteers and are paid no remuneration for their service.
