Morris County is a county located near the eastern border of the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2020 census, its population was 11,973.[1] Its county seat is Daingerfield.[2] Morris County is probably named for William Wright Morris, an early judge and planter from Henderson, also in northeast Texas. As of 2016, Morris County is no longer one of six entirely dry, prohibition counties in the state of Texas. Morris County is "partially wet."[3]
