The Karnes County Courthouse is a three-story, load-bearing brick masonry building with rusticated stone trim constructed in 1895, with two concrete-frame and masonry additions constructed in 1924. The 1895 structure is covered with stucco and painted to match the 1924 additions, and the entire building is roofed in terra cotta tile. As originally designed, the structure exhibited both Second Empire and Richardsonian Romanesque elements; these features—including projected mansard tower, conical corner towers, a central clock tower and slate roofing were altered or completely removed in 1924.
