The Williamson County District Attorney’s Office recently reported that Williamson County has exceeded the State of Texas’ requirement to report the disposition of at least 90 percent of all criminal cases to the Texas Department of Public Safety.  The Department of Public Safety (DPS) maintains a data base of criminal histories known as CJIS (Criminal Justice Information System) for use by law enforcement for all arrested defendants in Texas. This makes it easier for law enforcement to obtain information on individuals while making traffic stops or arrests and provides valuable information related to the safety of officers on the streets. 

Williamson County offices will be closed on Monday, May 28, in observance of Memorial Day.  All county operations will resume regular hours on Tuesday, May 29, 2011.

The Williamson County Justice of the Peace, Precinct 3, office, 301 S. E. Inner Loop in Georgetown, will be closed to the public for construction renovations on Friday, May 25.  Payments can be made using the drop box located outside the office next to the Purchasing Department door or online at www.wilco.org, then click on Justice Courts and choose Precinct 3.  All county offices will be closed Monday, May 28 for Memorial Day.
