Due to forecasted heavy rain associated with Tropical Storm Bill, all City offices and facilities will close early at 3 p.m. today, June 16. This includes Austin Municipal Courts and the Downtown Austin Community Court.



Decisions about City of Austin delays and closures are made based on the best-available information that officials have at the time. The City of Austin will continue to monitor conditions and will provide updates as they become available. For information on early closures for schools and other governmental offices, monitor those organizations’ communication channels and local media.



For the most up-to-date information about City of Austin operations, monitor City social media on Twitter (@austintexasgov ) or Facebook (facebook.com/austintexasgov). The City will include #atxfloods in most social media posts.
