Not only is the New York style cheesecake, but they also New York style courthouses, who knew there was such a thing?

I frequent this courthouse often looking at deed books. I enjoy the exterior and interior of the building as it is alive with history in the architecture. The staff has been very helpful to me in my searches when I could not find something on my own, taking the time to go down to the record room to assist in finding a particular record. The record room is well laid out and I enjoy that so much information has now been digitized and accessible from the computers available for use. I appreciate the efforts that have gone into making this a nice place to visit and conduct research.

They are incredibly rude and bad at their job. They don’t care at all and treated me very poorly and were disrespectful. Glad I don’t live there anymore. Brenham area is full of rude people in this line of work. I recommend being a little nicer and paying more attention to your job. They made my life way harder than it needed to be. Thanks : )

Went in today to go get my car registration done and I walked into the tax office room. First, I noticed that the two ladies were eating and I could already tell that the ladies were irritated with me for “disrupting” their lunch at their desk. The lady that helped me was very rude. I don’t want to give my personal details out, but I was so sweet to the lady and it was my first time ever doing my registration. I was I would have given the lady the same attitude she gave me, but the customer service in me would not let me. I really hope they fire those two ladies that were there.
