MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM 254 TEXAS COURTHOUSES!
Transitioning into the fourth and most likely second-to-last year of this project, I’m looking back at the progress I’ve made. This year alone I gained more courthouses than all the courthouses I had previously from 2010-2012. This was a tremendous effort that put quite a dent in the vastness I had before me.

With a minor swoop through the Panhandle, a good chunk out of the Caprock region, portions of East Texas, the Hill Country, and the Coastal Plains, and the entire Trans-Pecos, I feel this year very successful. I’m planning this next year to be equal if not greater in success. Merry Christmas!
