I was traveling from Conroe up to Huntsville and got passed by a sheriff's vehicle. It was rush…read morehour around 5:00. He wasn't running lights, but we were in Montgomery county so he was within his jurisdiction. Just curious, I sped up to see how fast he was speeding. 80-85 mph. Non emergency as he did break and slow down when he had to for traffic. As we passed the county line heading into Walker County, this guy sped up!! 85-90 mph!! He did at least use his blinker as he changed lanes (for fear he might break a traffic ordinance) Weaving thru traffic without a care in the world! Remember, do as I say, not as I do. If you or I had driven like that we would have gotten a ticket, if not thrown in jail for excessive speed and reckless driving! Laws for thee but not for me! I did call and complain but nothing was done or said. From my understanding he does this on a regular basis. Earn the hate.... And people wonder why cops are not trusted or liked. Officers who abuse their position are called Tyrants

The current courthouse is the fifth to serve the citizens of Walker County. A Modern design built…read morewith brick and steel, it reflects the practical and utilitarian design trend of 1960s Texas county buildings. The structure emphasizes function over fashion, a sharp contrast to the ornate Victorian Gothic, Renaissance Revival and Italianate blend of the 1888 courthouse it replaced. That one had been one of the 25 oldest courthouses in Texas at the time of its destruction. The county was formed in 1846 as part of the early organization of the Republic-to-Statehood transition. It was originally named for Robert J. Walker, a Mississippi legislator who supported the annexation of Texas. In 1863, the Texas Legislature changed the namesake to Samuel H. Walker, the Texas Ranger and Army officer, after Robert Walker sided with the Union during the Civil War. Huntsville has always been the county seat since the beginning. Walker County is the home of the Texas state prison where executions are performed but those are decided at the state level than the county level here. The grounds of the courthouse have a number of memorials and such. Don't miss the gazebo which has a marker pointing out that it was built near the site of the original bandstand (1908-1948) and was dedidated on the county's 150th anniversary.

I went with a friend of mine to pick up his mom and dads marriage certificate. He didn't know what…read moreyear they were married and it didn't show up in the computer system so they had to go through a book that spanned over 10 years of marriage records that were listed in chronological order, not alphabetical order which would make it a tedious task. The lady helping us did not seem to mind helping us to find it though, she was very nice and friendly. Because there were people behind us and we didn't know how long it was going to take we asked if we could just leave our name and number and have her call us when she found it. It was about 4pm when we left so I didn't expect to hear from her until the next day with it being so close to the end of the day. Much to my surprise we barely had time to make it back to my house before she called and told us the she had found it. I was very impressed. I'm so glad that the people who work at our court house are so helpful and friendly.

This review is solely for the visitation of an inmate at this facility. I have no idea what goes on…read morebeyond the visitors area. Today was the first time I had ever set foot in any sort of prison. Not going to lie, it was intimidating at times. There are many hoops you have to jump thru during the process but they all seemed reasonable and for good safety reasons. For my safety, for the staff and for the inmates. When i pulled into the facility off the main road there was a checkpoint almost immediately. Every car stops and you have to get out and open the hood and trunk. While I was opening the hood other guards are opening the doors and checking the inside of the car. When my car was cleared I pulled forward a bit and gave my drivers license to another guard where he wrote down my info and license plate number, he also gave me a two digit number to remember and said I would need it when I was leaving, then I was cleared to head to the parking lot. Found a spot and parked, proceeded to the next check in, it was a small booth where I let them know which inmate I was there to see and gave them my drivers license. They checked the computer to confirm I was eligible to visit him and I was on to the next step. At this point, I came to a gate. There was a video camera and a sign under it that read Show ID To Camera. I did, and I heard the gate click and I opened it and proceeded. I was in what's known as a mantrap gate. As I approached the other end of the trap, the gate clicked open. It was at this point the gravity of where I was really set in. It was high fences and razor wire from here on out. I entered a building and got in line. Signed in and gave my ID, which they kept and gave me a numbered metal chip. Then it was off to the metal detector. Similar to an airport, shoes off and empty pockets. Then there was a pat down search and then I was cleared to go start my visit. After the two hour visit it was the exact reverse process leaving. It was a good experience and I was happy to see my friend again. While it was intimidating at times, at no point did I not feel completely safe. All of the staff and guards I spoke to throughout the process were understanding and polite.
