Courthouse was originally planned for a half of this block, with a large tower for the other half in a public-private partnership. The idea was shot down by voters.  Location for the new Travis Co. Courthouse moved to the north end of Downtown. Construction is finally underway.  https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180716005641/en/Hunt-Led-Team-Secures-Project-New-Courts-Facility   4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 As it is, the Travis County courthouse functions are spread among a number of buildings ranging over a bunch of blocks. That gets to be a real PITA after a while - which is why Harris County built several new tall buildings over the last couple decades. There's also a new, larger family courts building on the horizon; it's sorely needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
