Motley County is a county located in the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2020 census, its population was 1,063,[1] making it the 10th-least populous county in Texas. Its county seat is Matador.[2] The county was created in 1876 and organized in 1891.[3] It is named for Junius William Mottley, a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. Mottley's name is spelled incorrectly because the bill establishing the county misspelled his name. Motley County was one of 30[4] prohibition, or entirely dry, counties in Texas, but is now a wet county.
