Note:
The 1914 Kleberg County courthouse was built one year after
the county was organized and is the only courthouse the county has ever had.
A
one-story rear annex was attached to the rear of the building in 1966.
The
courthouse was built with a jail on the third floor which was in use until 1997
when a new jail was built out of town. - Terry

| "The
district courtroom on the second floor appears to have been two stories at one
point. A staircase in the rear of the courtroom leads either to the former upper
courtroom gallery or the old rooftop jail." Terry
