The Texas County Courthouse is the historic courthouse serving Texas County, Oklahoma, located in the city of Guymon.

Opened in 1927, the courthouse received praise from local newspapers in its first decade and came to symbolize the success and growth of the Oklahoma Panhandle.[2] On August 24, 1984, the courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
