Williamson County will celebrate Juneteenth as an official, paid holiday in line with the federal government's list of holidays. The county plans to take away a holiday that was planned for June 3, 2023, and this would ensure the total number of official holidays remains at 10.'I had the opportunity this year to be in Galveston on June 19, and it was an amazing celebration, a uniquely Texas day,' Precinct 2 Commissioner Cynthia Long said.
