Harris County officials announced that all county operations will return to normal on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, as conditions improve after recent severe winter weather.
All county buildings are expected to reopen to the public, and departments will resume regular business hours after temporary service adjustments were put in place to ensure public and employee safety.
County Officials Thank Residents and Employees
Jesse Dickerman, Interim County Administrator for the Harris County Office of County Administration, expressed gratitude to both residents and county employees for their cooperation during the weather-related disruptions.
“Our first responders, essential personnel, and Commissioners Court offices worked around the clock to support the community,” Dickerman said. “County employees across departments showed flexibility and professionalism to maintain continuity of services during challenging conditions.”
Some Facilities May Reopen Gradually
