    Forgetting it was the weekend, I kept wondering why the courthouse was closed. Anyway, there were…read moreplenty of historical plaques, markers, and other signs to read and enjoy. After walking around the courthouse taking pictures and enjoying the sites and sounds, I soaked in the neighboring stores along the square/plaza. Tons of stuff to enjoy and occupy my time. Don't miss out on what Cleburne has to offer.

    Johnson County is named for Middleton T. Johnson (1810-1866), native of South Carolina for 7 terms…read morean Alabama legislator, and a leading Texan after 1840. He served in the 9th Texas Legislature, Texas Rangers, Mexican War, and Civil War. The county was created and organized 1854, from land earlier in counties of Ellis, Hill and Navarro. I spent a week in Cleburne, which the county seat of Johnson County and visited downtown a couple of times. The courthouse here is visible from a good few miles away and this historical marker is located outside the courthouse, which is where I saw it and photographed it. This marker stands in front of the impressive and historic courthouse in downtown Cleburne. It reads, "Organized in 1854, Johnson County located its seat of government in Wardville and Buchanan before moving in 1867 to Camp Henderson, which later became Cleburne. The Buchanan Courthouse was moved to the new county seat and used until 1869, when the county constructed a new two-story brick building. By 1880, that facility had become too small, and three years later a magnificent second empire courthouse, designed by W.C. Dodson, took its place." "Fire destroyed Dodson's 1883 building on April 15, 1912, and the commissioners court chose German-born Otto Lane (1864-1947) and Welshman Frank Witchell (1879-1958) to design their new house of justice. While many firms of the time were designing Beaux Arts or Late Victorian structures, Land and Witchell were fond of the increasingly popular Prairie School style as inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan. Johnson County courthouse drawings are attributed to architect Charles E. Barglebraugh, the project architect for Lang and Witchell who trained under Wright." "Completed in 1913, the courthouse is very similar to Land and Witchell's Cooke County courthouse in Gainesville, Texas. Designed on a basic Beaux Arts plan but modernized with Prairie style elements and Sullivanesque details, the Johnson County courthouse features a prominent clock tower and an impressive six-story interior atrium topped by a stained art glass dome." "At the dawn of the 21st Century, the Johnson County courthouse remains in service as the center of county government." The outside of the building is lovely and I was told by Jim (in the Published Page Bookshop across the street https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-published-page-bookshop-cleburne?hrid=dKj6y-Vzj7e_3CwS0OUZ7Awhich you absolutely need to go visit) that the inside is amazing. But it was securely locked up at 6pm when I was here. YELP: I'VE BEEN HERE. I'VE SEEN THIS MARKER. I HAVE A PERSONAL CONSUMER EXPERIENCE. [Review 16047 overall - 233 in Texas - 1552 of 2021.]

    If we could give zero stars.... This is reference to a…read morespecific incident/encounter. My partner was driving and saw a gravel truck coming toward her taking up half of her lane(he on wrong side). (Violation of state traffic code) It swerved back and sent gravel flying from his truck, breaking the windshield on her vehicle. (Violation of state traffic code) She u turned and followed the truck down the road a mile to its drop off location. When she confronted him the driver lied about his name etc. (violation of state traffic code). I made scene after she called because she was upset. I noticed that the so called tarp on the truck was shredded and would not keep in anything (violation of state traffic code). I stayed on scene until an officer arrived on scene. I found out later he did not do a state collision report. (Violation of state traffic code reference to collisions involving big trucks). And yes, a broken windshield is a collision. I also found out the driver had no clue and had not even seen my partners truck and claimed she was behind him the whole time. She contacted to county and they denied all responsibility saying they were not at fault and believed their drivers story. I have lived in the county for 20+ years and always heard that the government in this county was one of the most corrupt in N Texas. From what I have seen in all those years and this encounter only solidifies that. Might want to think about this before deciding on moving into this county or one of its towns. It is not just this one dept. Its all of them. I am selling my house and moving on to better locations. I have had my fill

    Re: ELLIS County Red Oak Police Department…read more Yesterday, I called the non-emergency hotline to report what I believed was an abandoned car that had been parked in front of my house for three days. An officer came out and informed me that the vehicle belonged to a neighbor. He also stated that they didn't have to move it because it was parked the required distance from the road. When I asked whose car it was, he said he couldn't share that information--which I understand. I had assumed the car was abandoned because it was blocking my driveway and no one had returned to move it in 3 days. While I realize the road is public property, I felt the officer could have at least encouraged the neighbor to be more considerate and move their car as a courtesy. Our road is narrow, and it's difficult to get out of my driveway when cars are parked that way. Since the officer made it clear they didn't have to move the car, I decided to speak with the neighbor myself since this is not acceptable. Fortunately, we were able to resolve the issue directly to have the car moved. Situations like this are exactly why people end up taking matters into their own hands. The interaction with me and my neighbor could have resulted in a situation that could have become volatile. However, this experience left me feeling that calling the police was useless and unhelpful--I don't plan on calling them again. It seems they have quite a few racist complaints but you have to dig for them because they do not allow complaints on google or etc.

    Gorgeous Texas courthouse on the historic square in Waxahachie. James Michener best described this…read morecourthouse as "a fairy tale palace...replete with battlements and turrets and spires...and miniature castle high in the air...one of the finest buildings in Texas". It is hard to top that description! Constructed in 1893, the building is listed as one of Texas' most outstanding architectural achievements. It is 23,739 square feet, nine stories tall, and has a working clock tower. It is built in the Richardsonian Romanesque style.

    Just legally got married at this location and it was the best day of my life. I would like to say…read morehowever process of getting an appointment at this location is really hard and you really need to plan way in advance till the process is improved for the future brides as it can be very stressful. I called this location every day for an available appointment as unfortunately their website does not offer online appointments and that's the only way or going to the courthouse in person. Not everyone sadly is very nice on the phone as well so that can add to the stress. Fortunately someone named Lin was able to put me on schedule due to a recent cancellation. The judge who married us was so kind and gave us such great marriage advices. Overall I am happy that I chose this court house despite its challenges as not only it's truly beautiful inside and outside their judge truly makes your day special with their kind words.

    Wow! What an honor and privilege to be able to walk in here. This ancient courthouse made me feel…read moreso special because of the architecture. The landscaping is well taken care of but inside does not smell so fresh. The steps are steep and intimidating. I don't like heights. The Security Officers were very nice and helpful. The Gentleman explained to be where I needed to go. He was also friendly when I asked him questions. There's a small Museum to the left. It was pretty busy. I saw a kid doing a book report for class, along with a few other visitors. I ran into a Police Officer and he told me where to go too. The ladies in the office went the extra mile to help. Parking was near by. You just scan and pay. I saw two Brides getting their Bridal Portraits. It was such a nice moment. The fourth floor has a colorful Rotunda that many people enjoy seeing. This is definitely a unique Courthouse with lots of pictures inside. I would definitely recommend this courthouse.
