COVID COURT OPERATIONS UPDATE FOR CLIENTS

The Office of Court Administration for the State of Texas issued an update for court operations and jury trials on 12/17/20.  Jury trials will not be taking place any earlier than Feb. 1st, 2021.  It is likely that they may not begin again until late spring or summer, depending on many variables such as active CoVid cases, vaccine availability, and infection rates.  Every court in Bexar County is operating somewhat independently and has their own procedures so it is important for you to check with me if you have specific questions regarding your case.

The one thing you can definitely count on is DELAYS!  Nothing is back to normal and it may never be.  It is the time of Zoom hearings for pretty much everything so do NOT go to the courthouse without contacting me first.  

For my criminal clients:
If you are out on bond, it is very important that you continue to check in with your bail bondsman and IF you have been assigned a pre-trial services officer, you must continue to follow their directions and keep in contact with them as well. (Please note, many people are not assigned a PTS officer so if you don't know what I'm referring to, you likely were not given one and do not need to worry.)  If you do not check-in, the bondsman may surrender your bond and you could be re-arrested and pre-trial services will contact the court, send a violation report, and you could be re-arrested.  

Please read the post below for additional information and my advice during the pandemic. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me or schedule an appointment if you wish to discuss your case.  Scheduling an appointment is always the best way ensure I am available, have your case in front of me, and am in front of my computer to access your case.

Stay safe and healthy and I wish everyone a much better year in 2021!!
