Hello Everyone!

This week’s update includes a virtual training opportunity, information about clerk testing, and reminders and help for judges to track their hours.

Webinar: Family Violence Update

*Tomorrow* July 25th from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.

Family violence directly affects approximately one-third of all Texans, and indirectly affects countless others. Justice courts are in a position to help stem the tide of domestic violence, and utilize various principles to prevent further violence against survivors, their families, and the community. Law and procedures are continually evolving, and the area of family violence is no different. In this session, the speaker will discuss family violence dynamics; the roles of both bond conditions and magistrate’s orders for emergency protection; legislative changes, including implementation of new uniform forms; and protective order reporting.
