The Jim Hogg County Courthouse in Hebbronville was built in 1913, the year the county was created, to a design by San Antonio architect Henry T. Phelps as a Texas Renaissance building later remodeled with Classical Revival elements. It is the only courthouse the county has ever had. A two-story addition was built on the west side in 1981, but the original 1913 building and its entrance porch still serve as the everyday entrance.
