EDINBURG – The Hidalgo County Courthouse will remain closed on Friday, June 9 as crews continue to work on fixing a faulty cooling tower.
The frame of the cooling tower collapsed on Tuesday, June 6, preventing water from cooling the courthouse building. A new cooling unit was located and arrived on Wednesday. Crews continue to work to replace the unit.
County officials have determined that it would be best to remain closed during repairs and subsequent testing. All operations in the courthouse, including jury duty, will be temporarily halted.
Another determination will be made on Friday regarding when courthouse operations may resume.
