Parking Problems

Parking at the Harris County Courts Complex is a tough task. Parking in the area has been a burden for years. Recently, the parking situation just became tougher. The largest parking lot across the street from the courthouse is being constructed into a underground jury assembly room.

If you are at the Courthouse in the morning before 9am docket call you see lawyers and other court goers sprinting from blocks away to make their court appearance. Another common sight you see are cars stopping in the middle of traffic to let someone out in front of the courthouse.

Harris county officials say the new jury assembly room will provide a larger area to handle more potential jurors and provide them underground access to the courts. Most important there will be an increase in security. Above the underground jury assembly room, a park is being constructed.

Parking cost can range from $2 dollars to $14 dollars a day. Depending on where you decide to park, the walk to the Courthouse could be two to three blocks away.

Best advise for all is to arrive early and bring cash.
