No documents sustained any damage, however, the carpeting was soaked.
Water also seeped through walls down to three courtrooms on the fourth floor, 187th District Court Judge Stephanie Boyd said.
”We had some major damage in our court coordinator’s office,” Boyd said.
Boyd said there was major carpet damage in the area.
The damage, according to Ron Rangel, local administrative judge, raises serious health concerns.
”We’re trying to keep the courthouse safe from folks coming in and getting sick as a result of the pandemic,” Rangel said. “We don’t want them coming into the courthouse and getting sick as a result of mold damage either.”
