Public Safety Report System

Annual Report
Public Safety Report System
Monthly report on defendant data for whom bail was set after arrest and any bond type modifications.
Section 71.0351(a)(1)(A-C) requires the reporting of the number of defendants for each category of offense, the number of personal bonds, and the number of surety or cash bonds. This is information being captured from the Bail Form information submitted through the PSRS.
A report with statistics for the previous month will be posted by the 7th of each month. The PSRS Report Guide document provides information on the data elements reported.
Judicial Council Trial Court Activity Reports
Monthly report on data elements for the number of cases for defendants who have been released on bail.
Section 71.0351(a)(2-3) requires the reporting of the number of defendants released on bail who have subsequently failed to appear, violated a condition of release, and who committed an offense while released on bail or community supervision. This information is being captured in the District and County Criminal section of the Judicial Council Monthly Court Activity Reports. Data is captured by case counts, not defendants, given that court case management systems and the Judicial Council Monthly Court Activity Reports are designed to track cases. For more information regarding the additional reporting requirements under this section, please visit the District & County Court Reports website.
Report with statistics for the previous month will be posted by the 24th of each month.
