Recently the Precinct Five Constable announced the changes coming to their office in Robstown.
Five holding cells had previously been turned into storage space but they never had a front door.
That made them non-compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Constable Oscar Mendoza says other upgrades were desperately needed.
“Our department has grown, the population has grown, and we need a bigger office and this was one way to make it happen,” Mendoza said.
The Nueces County Commissioners Court approved the project a few weeks ago and will take roughly a few months to complete.
The main entrance will be temporarily closed but if you need to reach them, you can call 361-767-5204.
