Another beautiful Texas courthouse designed by famous San Antonio architect Henry T. Phelps, the Uvalde County courthouse anchors the east side of the downtown Uvalde courthouse square.
A historic marker affixed to the building reads as follows:
"UVALDE COUNTY COURTHOUSE
Completed in 1928, this structure replaced Uvalde County's 1890 Courthouse. The Commissioner's Court hired architect Henry T. Phelps, who had designed several other Texas courthouses, and prominent local builder M. H. Ryland to manage the construction project. The neo-classical style courthouse is the fifth for Uvalde County, which was created in 1856. Outstanding features include its cast stone segmental arches and Ionic porticoes at the entrances.
Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, 1983."
