Back-up generators were brought in to protect computer servers and keep emergency lighting charged and on stand-by.
The jail and county administration building and other facilities on the county government campus did not lose power and are open.
ONCOR spokesman Justin Ozuna says the problem involves failure of some equipment that is the customer's responsibility. ONCOR has disconnected power to the courthouse until county officials make repairs.
