Where may the commissioners court meet if the posted location is unavailable due to an emergency?
The county may select an alternative meeting place within the county if the posted location is unavailable due to an emergency. Under the Local Government Code §81.005, the alternative meeting place may be an auxiliary courthouse, annex, or other county building that houses other courts or county administration offices within the city serving the county seat.
