Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the historic opening of the new Hidalgo County Courthouse in Edinburg, Texas. I am proud to announce that this new and modern courthouse will house 24 district and county courtrooms, a court of appeals and an additional six future courtrooms to accommodate and serve our growing county. This courthouse replaces its outdated predecessor, providing Hidalgo County with the modern judicial space it deserves. I am honored to represent a thriving community and I am excited to see our infrastructure and local government develop alongside with our population. This new courthouse stands as a symbol of our growth and continued development in South Texas, and its design proudly reflects the culture, people, and heritage of the Rio Grande Valley. With local designs, architecture and native vegetation, this courthouse stands as a new pillar for South Texas. Mr. Speaker, I wish to congratulate Hidalgo County on this historic achievement and commemorate the opening of the New Hidalgo County Courthouse. ____________________
