NO TRIAL VERDICTS TO REPORT

From the Harris County District Clerk: Below is a video guide of a Jury Call and Voir Dire at NRG Arena, and a Jury Trial in one of the Downtown Courthouses. Consult the presiding judge of each court for that court’s specific courtroom setup and protocols.

Under COVID orders does a Defendant have a RIGHT to a COURT trial without the consent of the State? (Normally all 3 parties have to agree)

See Opinion that says NO

 

TRIAL WIN LEADERS from the Harris County Criminal Courthouse (February 7, 2017 – March 15, 2021).

Great tips from the Harris County Court Reporters! I interviewed 12 of some of the best court reporters working the Harris County Criminal Courts and got their “inside information” on how jurors, lawyers, witnesses and judges can improve in trial to make it easier for the court reporter to take down ALL the information required of them for an excellent record.

The following cases are felony DISMISSALS and misdemeanor trial setting dismissals derived from the Harris County District Clerk’s website – online services > public data sets > crimdisposdaily. I examine each dismissal form before posting, post only dismissals which appeared to require some work to earn, gets the client off scott-free (exceptions apply) and for which I have an attorney photo. ric court dismissals are posted only if legal issues were cited. for details go to “the making of this blog”

IMPORTANT NOTICE – The district clerk’s website has been displaying INCOMPLETE INFORMATION since July 5, 2020. The Online Dockets tab (faulty since July 5, 2020) and the Criminal Disposed Cases tab (faulty since November 19, 2020) from which I gather my blog information are BOTH providing only PARTIAL DATA. On July 5, 2020 and November 23, 2020 I submitted a work order for them to fix the problems, but to no avail. I apologize if I missed any information due to their inability to correct the issue.
