}}Brooks County Courthouse is located in Falfurrias, in the U.S. state of Texas. The structure was designed by Alfred Giles in 1914 in the Classic revival style. Prior to the erection of the brick county courthouse, local government housed itself in rented space. The courthouse was named a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1977.[3] Renovation began on the courthouse in 2006.[4]Judge James A. Brooks, who spearheaded the building of the courthouse, was honored at the structure's opening ceremonies. Two cornerstones were laid on October 29, 1914. On November 5, opening day was celebrated with a public picnic and a parade led by the local high school band.[5]

Brooks County was named after Judge Brooks, who was also a captain in the Texas Rangers.[6]

The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 2012.
