On a warm January 2, 2017, morning, Terry Cook proudly took the oath of office at 10:51 a.m. to become Williamson County Commissioner of Precinct 1. About fifty of her supporters cheered her on in a standing-room only courtroom that overflowed with visitors into the balcony and hallway. Commissioner Cook was one of thirteen elected officials who were sworn in at the Williamson County Historic Courthouse on the second floor in the 26th District Court in Georgetown.
