City of Amarillo Municipal Court

The renovation and alteration project at 201 SE 4th Ave. in Amarillo, Texas, is complete. The City of Amarillo Municipal Court filed this project with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, identifying it as a renovation of the existing facility. The scope of work focused on infrastructure improvements rather than interior construction, specifically repaving the parking lot and a portion of the alley, replacing the sidewalk, and installing storm sewer to improve drainage. The total estimated cost for these exterior updates was $850,000.

OJD Engineering, LLC served as the design firm of record for the project. The registered accessibility specialist, Leslie Kit Carter, oversaw the compliance review process. The project was registered with TDLR in December 2024, with plan review completing in the same month. Construction began in February 2025. Although the filing indicated a completion date of May 2025, the final inspection was not passed until March 2026. This timeline reflects the actual duration of the construction and inspection phases.

Project Scale and Cost

The filing lists the project size at 21,110 sq ft, resulting in a computed cost of $40 per square foot. This figure is below the median of $86 per square foot for renovation and alteration projects in Potter County. The estimated total cost of $850,000 is above the county median of $300,000 for this type of work, placing it in the top quarter of similar filings. The scheduled build window of 89 days was shorter than the county median of 137 days, indicating a focused, rapid execution of the paving and sewer work.

The City of Amarillo is the owner of record and has registered six other projects with TDLR, totaling $8,548,000. Other recent projects by the city include the First Responders Memorial and improvements to John Stiff Park. OJD Engineering, LLC has also worked on four other registered projects, including the Downtown Sidewalk in Clarendon. This project involves public funds and public land, ensuring that the accessibility standards are met for the municipal facility.

TDLR closed the project file in August 2026, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The final inspection passed in March 2026, confirming that the work met the required standards before the file was officially closed. This status confirms that the renovation is finished and the record is no longer active.
