(1) Tremendous growth has strained Hays County in a number of ways. They include traffic, congested roads, housing construction, and water supplies. (2) Hays County is home to over 105,000 people, and it is growing each day. It has seen a 50 percent increase in population since 1990, and that trend shows no sign of slacking off. The boom has placed a burden on everything from roads to schools. Even the courts are not exempt.
(3) That growth has strained the quality of justice in Hays. It is one of the fastest growing counties in Texas and the nation. The county has only one courtroom for district court in its makeshift Justice Center. The Center is a former supermarket converted to courtrooms and offices. It is a block from the courthouse square in San Marcos. Hays officials are not indifferent to the problems. County government long ago outgrew the old stone courthouse in the square.
(4) Hays is in a judicial district that includes Comal and Caldwell counties. Only one courtroom is for felony cases in San Marcos. This postpones criminal cases for lengthy periods, and civil cases have difficulty getting set at all. On Wednesday, an article in the American Statesmen noted that frustrated people are paying $300 to rent a private meeting hall to have cases heard.
(5) The court system has an obligation to provide fair and speedy justice. It also has an incentive to move defendants out of the county jails system, which is expensive to maintain. To help ease these obligations, the Commissioners Court has approved taking over an auto parts store in addition to the existing Justice Center. It will provide much needed relief.

Read this passage from “the fall of the house of usher.” which element of gothic literature is not obvious in this passage? as if in the superhuman energy of his utterance there had been found the potency of a spell, the huge antique panels to which the speaker pointed threw slowly back, upon the instant, their ponderous and ebony jaws. it was the work of the rushing gust—but then without those doors there did stand the lofty and enshrouded figure of the lady madeline of usher. there was blood upon her white robes, and the evidence of some bitter struggle upon every portion of her emaciated frame. for a moment she remained trembling and reeling to and fro upon the threshold—then, with a low moaning cry, fell heavily inward upon the person of her brother, and in her violent and now final death agonies, bore him to the floor a corpse, and a victim to the terrors he had anticipated. bleak or remote settings supernatural or otherworldly elements macabre or violent incidents strong language full of dangerous meaning
