hometown christmas
Like most small town county seats, the main street of Tahoka divides around the court house square. In bright letters, visitors and residents are greeted with "Merry Christmas" spelled on the roof of the 1916 court house. Texas has 254 counties with more historical court houses than any other state; there are 234 court houses over 50 years old. The Tahoka building is in need of renovation but the original paint and gilt trim remains in the unused third floor court room. With a guide, one might visit the jail and the vault. The jail As one leaves the square, the south façade has "Happy New Year" as the departing wish. Patriotic pride and Christmas spirit abound in Tahoka.
