Drivers between Georgetown and Round Rock can take a new road home this evening. The extension of North Mays from Paloma Drive to Oakmont Drive will officially open at 5 p.m. Wednesday, December 16. Officials from Williamson County and the City of Round Rock held a virtual ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of the project that has been under construction for two years.   

The Williamson County district and county courts at law have acquired state- of- the- art software called Jury Manager from Tyler Technologies, that will serve as the County’s new jury summons platform moving forward. The system will facilitate jury selection while helping reduce the spread of COVID-19 by eliminating the need to gather in large numbers of potential jurors. 

Beginning in January 2021, the Williamson County district and county courts at law will resume limited in-person proceedings, such as jury trials, in a safe manner. Significant safety protocols are in place to create the safest environment possible for these in-person proceedings, with continuous consultation with the Local Public Health Authority.

The order authorizes County Judge Bill Gravell to lift the ban if conditions improve during the effective period of the burn ban. A copy of the order can be found here.
