I don't know whether you have been to downtown Edinburg and checked out the new courthouse but it is really "ugly". The county spent a terrific amount of money on this eyesore!. I understand that the city council refused to let them build a parking garage so you will have to walk a long ways to get to check in for jury service.

I, fortunately, am so old that I don't have to do jury duty any more. Feel sorry for you young'uns!

In reply to oldvalleyrat Your post made me have to check it out. You're right that thing is ugly. It's sure to make the list of ugliest court houses in Texas. Brazos county was high up on that list last time it came out. Is it impossible to build court houses like they did in the 1800's?

Also username. It checks out.

Austin County's court house says hello!

Tax dollars buy a lot of nice stuff.
