District & County Court-Level Reporting
Reporting Requirements
Section 71.035(a) of the Texas Government Code, (added by HB 1182, 88th Legislature, Regular Session) requires counties with a population of at least one million to include additional information in their monthly reports for each district and county court in the county.
The reports must include:
- The number of cases assigned to the court;
- the case clearance rate for the court;
- the number of cases disposed by the court;
- the number of jury panels empaneled for the court;
- the number of orders of continuance for an attorney before the court or by the court;
- the number of pleas accepted by the court;
- the number of cases tried by the judge of the court or before a jury; and
- the number of cases tried before a visiting or associate judge of the court.
Reports must be submitted to OCA no later than the 20th day of the month following the month reported.
Reporting by court will begin April 2024 starting with March 2024 data. OCA will publish the information every month at the link below. In the interim, the current District Court and County Court Monthly Court Activity Reports containing countywide information will be posted for each county.
