Judge C.H. “Burt” Mills, Jr. has decided the Aransas County Courthouse will be open with limited public access for two weeks due to five COVID-19 related employee absences. It is our goal to ensure that all steps are taken to protect the public and County employees. In addition to limiting the number of people in the Courthouse, we are continuing our efforts to disinfect County facilities on a regular basis, practice social distancing, and wearing masks. Judge C.H. “Burt” Mills will reevaluate whether to continue operation with limited public access prior to January 25, 2021 and an announcement will be made.

Residents needing to conduct business with the County, can make an appointment by calling the appropriate County department. A County representative will meet visitors at the front door, or they may utilize the drop box located outside which can be used for payments, paperwork, etc.
