A statue of James Pinckney Henderson, the first Governor of Texas, was installed in front of the courthouse in 1937.^[4] The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The listing included two contributing buildings and one contributing object.^[1] The Texas Historical Commission provided San Augustine County with a $3.7 million grant to restore the courthouse.^[2]
