The Atascosa County Courthouse, built in 1912 in Jourdanton, Texas, stands as the only existing Mission Revival style courthouse in the state. Designed by San Antonio architect Henry T. Phelps and constructed by the Gordon Jones Construction Co. for $65,000, the building features red-brown brick and cast stone with distinctive towers, balconies, and a Spanish-tiled roof characteristic of its architectural style. Originally, the ground floor was left open for wood storage before being enclosed in the late 1920s to provide additional office space. The courthouse occupies a circular plot of land, an unusual arrangement that contrasts with Texas's typical courthouse square layouts. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 30, 1997, as the fifth courthouse to serve Atascosa County since its formation in 1856.
