- Harris County Justice Of the Peace
- Harris County Civil Courts
- Harris County Family Courts

All are located around a central surface parking lot, that will eventually be turned into a Plaza and has been nicknamed "Justice Square".
Along with Harris County's facilities, there are several Constable courts and support facilities nearby.

Famous quotes containing the words court and/or system:
“Follow a shaddow, it still flies you;
Seeme to flye it, it will pursue:
So court a mistris, shee denyes you;
Let her alone, shee will court you.
Say, are not women truely, then,
Stil’d but the shaddowes of us men?
At morne, and even, shades are longest;
At noone, they are or short, or none:
So men at weakest, they are strongest,
But grant us perfect, they’re not knowne.
Say, are not women truely, then,
Stil’d but the shaddowes of us men?”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“It would be enough for me to have the system of a jury of twelve versus the system of one judge as a basis for preferring the U.S. to the Soviet Union.... I would prefer the country you can leave to the country you cannot.”
—Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
