What started as a simple conversation about parking led to a commissioners court coup Monday morning as a couple of commissioners and the county judge decided a new administrative building would be a better addition to the county jail property rather than the year-long plan for a justice center.
More than a year ago when the Kendall County Commissioners rushed legislation through the Texas Legislature to establish a Kendall County Court at Law, conversations began about building a new justice center on county property near the Kendall County jail.
Officials at the time said the move was seen as a benefit because it would allow for easy and quick transport of inmates to the courtroom – rather than driving through Boerne – and it would free up parking at the Kendall County Courthouse. But now, county Judge Darrel Lux and a couple of commissioners have reneged on the process already underway in favor of building a new administrative building.
