Jim Hogg County Courthouse

The 1913 Jim Hogg County Courthouse is the only courthouse the county has ever had. Designed by San Antonio architect Henry T. Phelps, it has been remodeled several times and it's an icon in the Hebbronville skyline.

Vaquero Capitol of Texas and the USA

Since 1883 Hebbronville has enjoyed a solid reputation as the country’s largest cattle-shipping center and, to this day, the area still stands as a major ranching center. This explains why Hebbronville also holds the title of “Vaquero Capitol of Texas and the USA”.

Scotus College

In 1926, Scotus College, a Franciscan seminary moved to Hebbronville from Mexico to escape persecution. It could accommodate up to twenty students preparing for the priesthood.

 

Public Announcement Regarding Raven Petroleum

It is my recommendation that if you are planning to seek employment or want to become a vendor with Raven Petroleum,  who will be operating as the South Texas Energy Complex in Duval County, that you REGISTER on their web site; Ravenpetro.com (There is an employment opportunities tab and a tab for companies to register as well.)

Additionally the TRI-County Consortium made up of Jim Hogg, Webb, Duval county representatives, along with Texas Workforce Solutions, Laredo Community College, Texas A&M International, and the Laredo Industrial Foundation, will be scheduling workshop sessions for local businesses and job fairs in all three counties as well. These activities will come very soon but it would be to your advantage to register on their web site now! “Let’s Cease the Moment”

Sincerely
Humberto Gonzalez

County Judge

In 2013 Jim Hogg County celebrated its century mark

Jim Hogg County (S-14) is in the Rio Grande Plain region of South Texas twenty-eight miles north of the Mexican border and sixty-six miles west of the Gulf Coast.

The county, named for Governor James Stephen Hogg, is bordered by Webb, Duval, Jim Wells, Brooks, Starr, and Zapata counties. Its center lies at 27°05' north latitude and 98°43' west longitude. Hebbronville, the largest town and county seat, is at the junction of State highways 16, 285, and 359, in the north central part of the county. Other communities include Agua Nueva, Altavista, Guerra, Randado, and Thompsonville.

In response to public concerns about naturally occurring arsenic in the Hebbronville public drinking water, staff from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) will be offering free urine testing to the first 400 Hebbronville residents that contact us.

The DSHS laboratory will test the samples for arsenic only. Information from the testing will help DSHS identify whether further public health recommendations are needed to help residents reduce their risk of exposure.

If you would like to participate please contact Tina Walker or Diana Rangel with the Health Assessment and Consultation Program between August 8 - 12, 2016 to set up an appointment.
