Note:
"The entire town of Gail, the
only town in the county, is at the intersection of U.S. 180 and FM 669, so it's
impossible to miss the courthouse. The interior of this building felt less like
a courthouse and more like someone's home. During my visit, all of the courthouse
employees were in the "kitchen" having their afternoon snack." - Terry
