Hays County

Hays County Courthouse, San Marcos, TX – Hays County offices will be on a two-hour delayed opening Friday morning due to inclement weather. Offices will open at 10 a.m. February 12. County parks will open at noon. 

Transportation crews are monitoring county roadways, bridges and overpasses for ice and sanding as necessary.

With the continued precipitation and freezing temperatures, particularly in the north and western parts of the county, officials believe the delay will give crews a chance to sand any area that could be a potential hazard. Use extra caution when driving.

Please note: anyone who had a second dose COVID-19 vaccination scheduled for Monday at San Marcos High School, their appointment has been automatically moved to the same time on Wednesday, Feb. 17. Visit haysinformed.com for more information on vaccines. 

Visit the county’s website and official Facebook page for any updates or new information related to weather and other issues. 

Texas State University

Due to the continued power outage and inclement weather in the Round Rock area, the Texas State University Round Rock Campus will be closed Friday, February 12.

Faculty are asked to inform students of alternate class plans. The San Marcos Campus will remain open for regular business operations and classes.

  • Let's be honest why SMCISD cancelled classes this morning. They say they "assessed road conditions." But they didn't really. Otherwise they would see the roads are near perfect. The chance of rain peaks at 10% around 11am. So the roads are going to stay fine. Instead, SMCISD delayed their decision in order to see what everyone else is doing.

    They punted responsibility. Now you're scrambling.

    • SMCISD called today "inclement weather." I called it winter with below average temps. At no point was travel dangerous.

      This is just "Boy Who Cries Wolf."

    • So wait... The kids couldn't go to school today because the weather was too bad. But the high school girls basketball team still played a game.

      Priorities?
