Travis Co. Courthouse security booth to ensure judges’ safety

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Building will soon begin on a security booth outside the Blackwell-Thurman Criminal Justice Center, with the hope that Travis County judges will be safer as they enter and exit the courthouse parking garage.
The Travis County Commissioners Court approved the $82,700 cost this spring, but commissioners say they were waiting for the county’s new security coordinator to begin working before the planning, construction and implementation of the booth could be realized
