Chaves County Commission Ends Courthouse Dress Code
The five member commission unanimously approved a resolution to lift the courthouse dress code and permit visitors to bring cellphones and cameras into the historic Chaves County Courthouse built in 1911. The action clashes with a 2009 judiciary security order, and sheriffs deputies said they were unaware of the change as of Thursday afternoon. Signs urging compliance were to be removed, while implementation remained uncertain.
