KYLE & BUDA — HAYS COUNTY LEGAL LANDSCAPE
Kyle and Buda residents are in Hays County — distinct from both Travis County (Austin) and Williamson County (Round Rock area). Criminal and family law cases go to the Hays County Courthouse in San Marcos. The explosive population growth has brought increased traffic on I-35 and FM-150, elevated DWI enforcement on the entertainment corridors, and a surge in family law matters as young families put down roots in Hays County.
I-35 through Kyle and Buda is one of Texas's most dangerous stretches. The I-35 corridor between San Marcos and Austin through Kyle and Buda sees extremely high truck volumes, construction zones, and speed differential accidents. The Buda I-35 southbound connector and the Kyle/Buda exits are frequent accident locations that our personal injury attorneys know well.
