Open House Meetings to discuss a New Travis County Courthouse in the Upcoming Bond Election

Posted on August 27, 2015 by Meg Davis

Greetings Residents of Travis County, As you may be aware, on Tuesday, August 18, 2015, the Commissioners Court voted unanimously to place the Civil & Family Courts Complex on the November 3 ballot. The current Hemann Marion Sweatt Courthouse is 84 years old and no longer serves our county residents in an efficient and productive manner.

Several open house events have been planned to educate our community on the need, cost, location, and safety aspects of the new facility. Let me emphasize that Travis County is prohibited by state statue from advocating; therefore, these open house events are for sharing information and answering questions you may have about the new facility, so that you are better informed before November 3.

Attached is a flyer with the dates, times, and locations of the open house events. Please feel free to share this information as you deem appropriate and we look forward to seeing you at any of the events.
Warmly,
Beverly S. Silas
