Travis County Judge Andy Brown announced yesterday that all Travis County facilities and offices, including the Commissioners Court, will be closed today due to unprecedented winter weather. Emergency and essential county staff will continue to work, however. The Commissioners Court will convene another day, depending on upcoming weather reports.
