A county is a land area of local government within a country. A county may have cities and towns within its area. Originally, in continental Europe, a county (contea or contado, comté, comtat, condado, Grafschaft) was the land under the jurisdiction of a count (conte, comte, conde, Graf).

Counties are called earldoms in post-Celtic Britain, Ireland and France—the term is from Old Norse jarl and was introduced by the Vikings—but there is no correlation between counties and earldoms. Rather, county, from French comté, was simply used by the Normans after 1066 to replace the native English term scir ([ʃir])—Modern English shire.

In the United Kingdom, many county names derive from the name of the county town with the word "shire" added on: for example, Gloucester, in Gloucestershire; Worcester, in Worcestershire; etc.

How do you change your county residency information in Texas?
Q. I'm going to be in school (college) in Houston more often than not, so I'm thinking about changing my residency so that I'm a resident of Harris county and not my original county. With what agency do I request that with?
Asked by Kevin - Sun Jul 20 15:22:39 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The way to do this is simple, you re-register to vote at your Houston address and that will take care of the whole matter.

What happens if I move to a neighboring county after a felony warrant has been issued in my prior county?
Q. I recently found out I had a felony warrant, during this time I moved to a neighboring county due to a job relocation. I have had friends and relatives inform me of local police asking for my whereabouts, and that I should turn myself in. Obviously, I cannot afford the time nor the price by turning myself in. What can police do now?

A. Two things will happen. One, the other county has listed your warrant on the State records system and possibly with NCIC, a national data base. Any routine query by an officer will bring up the warrant information. So, the first time you get pulled over for a traffic violation, you get busted for the warrant. Two, someone in the other county will rat you out eventually and you will be arrested at your home or new job. Get yourself a lawyer and try to arrange something with the other county or just turn yourself in.

Where are some animal shelters in Orange County where a 12 year old can volunteer?
Q. I love animals like dogs and cats and have been asking many different animal shelters in Orange County, California if I can volunteer there if I am accompanied by a parent. Do you know any animal shelters that will allow a 12 year old to volunteer there? Thank You!

A. The people at Orange County animal shelters, Humane Society, ASPCA, dog rescue associations and other animal-focused groups are going to have more information than people on Yahoo Answers, so give each a call yourself. You can find them in the Yellow pages and via Google searches.
