Two decades ago, Comal County began planning for the growth everyone knew was coming.Â
Then the countyâs population was around 78,000, and 10 years later totaled 108,472 â the same year voters rejected a $36 million justice center and additional downtown county office space.
Now that the county has exceeded 150,000 residents, its facilities downtown are nearing the end of a $32.5 million facelift for new offices, three county courts at-law and five district courts.Â
âItâs really something to see because itâs something weâve talked about for so long,â County Judge Sherman Krause said. âWeâre finally kind of seeing all of it (come to fruition).â

Boaters beware before thinking about dropping anchor at a barricaded boat ramp on Canyon Lake.
At least four public ramps have been closed â not because drought has led to drops in water levels throughout the entire lake but only in sections, and all four are in the Canyon Lake Hills area.
âCurrently (county) ramps Nos. 5, 7, 22, and 23 are closed due to the lake levels,â Comal County Sheriffâs Office Lt. Mike Smith said. âDriving around barricades is covered under Section 472.022 of the Texas Transportation Code and carries a fine up to $200 when not related to barricades placed due to water over the roads such as in flash flood occurrences.â
