What relationship does METRO have with the Harris County government?

I’m trying to get some information before I vote in a few weeks, and I was hoping some more knowledgeable folks could explain this to me. I’ve looked at the METRO budget, but don’t see specifically if Harris County is performing any funding. I know that METRO is a transit authority, and levies its own taxes. However, I also know that they sometimes get funding directly from governments, and obviously need to co-exist and function within a greater ecosystem.

How much of that is reliant upon the Harris County government, and what relationship has METRO had with the Harris County government both in the past and present?
