Houston · Harris County

Downtown, Houston

Downtown Houston is the civic and legal core of Harris County — home to the Harris County Civil Courthouse (1115 Congress Ave.), Harris County Criminal Justice Center, and dozens of law firm high-rises. The highest concentration of court filings in Texas originate from or route through downtown. Service on attorneys, registered agents, and government entities requires building security documentation on every attempt.
