(5ft. x 3ft.) open acrylic on canvas. Zoom in to see the details (Kiam Building, Dean’s, Clark’s, and the Judge with her two dogs).

The following cases are felony – including RIC (links and PC issues) – and all trial setting dismissals derived from the Harris County District Clerk’s website – dockets tab. I examine each dismissal form before posting, post only those defendants who are free of charges (exceptions apply) and for which I have an attorney photo. These and non-photo cases are entered into the Defense Attorney spreadsheet published on Saturdays. Felony and misdemeanor dismissals are published in the spreadsheets below

The Court Reporter has one of the most difficult jobs in the courthouse. Imagine having to listen to EVERY single word in a trial and transcribing it! My hats-off to you! I will try to feature a court reporter each week and offer their tips on how we can make their job a little easier

Leah Leal has been a court reporter since 2014. She has worked her entire career in the criminal court system starting with County Criminal Court at Law Number 10 – Judge Dan Spjut – and more recently as the court reporter for County Criminal Court at Law Number 13 – judge Raul Rodriguez presiding – since January of this year.
COURT REPORTER TIP –
“My day would go a lot smoother if…..” – during voir dire both the Prosecutors and Defense Attorneys made sure to identify each prospective juror by either calling out their NUMBER or having the juror say their NUMBER before speaking.
