The Texas Supreme Court consists of a chief justice and eight associate justices and serves as the highest civil court in the state. It has final appellate jurisdiction in most civil and juvenile cases. The files consist of architectural blueprints and drawings and document the construction of the Texas Supreme Court and Attorney General buildings in the Capitol Complex, dating from 1956 to 1991, the bulk dating 1988-1990. They include some construction blueprints from 1956 for the Supreme Court building and drawings for subsequent renovations to that building. The majority of the drawings date from 1988 to 1990 and include the renovation of the Tom Clark building and the construction of the Price Daniel, Sr. building for the Attorney General. Other drawings include a 1986 site plan for the Capitol Complex and 1990 plans for the Capitol Extension, a project managed by the State Preservation Board.
