Eligible EntitiesTo participate in the THCPP and be eligible to receive grant funding, a project must meet the following criteria: 1) A building that serves or has served as a county courthouse; 2) A building that is over 50 years old or is certified as worthy of preservation; and 3) A building that has a current master plan approved by the THC.
Focus AreaTexas has more historic courthouses than any other state. Today more than 240 courthouses still stand that are least 50 years old. About 80 were built before the turn of the 20th century. By the end of that century, most of these structures were significantly deteriorated due to inadequate maintenance, insensitive modifications or weather related damage. The Texas Historical Commission (THC) documented the condition of 50 of the state’s oldest courthouses in the late 1990s and determined that counties lacked the resources to preserve the buildings for future generations. The Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program (THCPP) may award up to $10 million to eligible counties through a biannual, competitive application process.
