June 5, 2018 -- City of Houston’s Municipal Courts Department (MCD) continues its efforts towards public service outreach throughout our City’s diverse population, by hosting Municipal Mini-Court Clinics on Tuesday, June 5 through Thursday, June 7, 2018. The court clinics are designed to help Houstonians better understand how to handle their court business at the Municipal Courts Department.

“Municipal Court Clinics enable those we serve to become better acquainted with the various services and the many options available to them to help take care of their court matters. We want to keep the public aware of all the programs and specialized courts that are in place to assist them, as well as the new laws that are now in effect,” said Director and Presiding Judge, J. Elaine Marshall.

MCD staff will be on hand to help people obtain information about the status of their court case(s), provide public safety information and showcase some of the other services offered by the courts.
