County Courthouses
Every county seat in Texas has a county courthouse to serve as the place where elected officials work, trials are held, property records are stored, citizens can pay their taxes and fees, and more. These grand buildings date as far back as 1861. This page shows a photo of each courthouse along with its location and the year it was built.
As is everything else in the field of history, determining the year a courthouse was built is not always a straightforward exercise. We generally use the year the building's initial construction was substantially completed and it was opened for official use. Additions and renovations are not considered. In some instances, however, a date was engraved or carved on the building before it was fully completed, and that date has become so widely adopted that we use it instead of the completion date. In counties that have more than one courthouse (e.g., civil and criminal or judicial and financial), we use the building where the commissioner's court is held.
