No Verdicts – Season On Hold (March 16th – August 31st)
Current Plan: Trial jurors will be congregated at NRG Arena on or near September 1, 2020 and jury selection will take place at NRG. Parking will be free for all participants (lawyers, jurors, clerks). Once the jury is selected the trial itself will be held the next working day at the criminal courthouse. Criminal jury trials will take precedence over civil jury trials. They will have pre-screening at the NRG door and masks will be mandatory to enter. (Judges have discretion on the masks once jurors are within their voir dire space.) These plans are tentative depending on spike of COVID cases. Also, the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association has reservations about the above process since they were excluded from any and all input.
FOR THE TRIAL STANDINGS, JUDGE STANDINGS, TRIAL STATISTICS AND MORE PRIOR TO MARCH 16TH GO TO JUNE 26TH BLOG POSTING
The following cases are felony – including RIC (links and PC issues) – and all trial setting dismissals derived from the Harris County District Clerk’s website – dockets tab. I examine each dismissal form before posting, post only those defendants who are free of charges (exceptions apply) and for which I have an attorney photo.
Please note: the district clerk’s office website “dockets” tab has not been reporting all docketed cases since june 30, 2020. some courts dockets do not appear at all. (usually 185th, 209th, 230th) i am sorry if i missed some dismissals that were not reported by the clerk. the problem was reported on july 5, 2020 with no resolution to this date.
