TRIAL WIN LEADERS from the Harris County Criminal Courthouse (February 7, 2017 – March 25, 2021). Congratulations to these fine prosecutors and defense attorneys for earning verdicts for the state and your clients over the last 4 years! (Source: Show Me The Justice “Lawyers in Trial” Spreadsheet)
Great tips from the Harris County Court Reporters! I interviewed 12 of some of the best court reporters working the Harris County Criminal Courts and got their “inside information” on how jurors, lawyers, witnesses and judges can improve in trial to make it easier for the court reporter to take down ALL the information required of them for an excellent record.
The following cases are felony DISMISSALS and misdemeanor trial setting dismissals derived from the Harris County District Clerk’s website – online services > public data sets > crimdisposdaily. I examine each dismissal form before posting, post only dismissals which appeared to require some work to earn, gets the client off scott-free (exceptions apply) and for which I have an attorney photo. ric court dismissals are posted only if legal issues were cited. for details go to “the making of this blog”

IMPORTANT NOTICE – The district clerk’s website has been displaying INCOMPLETE INFORMATION since July 5, 2020. The Online Dockets tab (faulty since July 5, 2020) and the Criminal Disposed Cases tab (faulty since November 19, 2020) from which I gather my blog information are BOTH providing only PARTIAL DATA. On July 5, 2020 and November 23, 2020 I submitted a work order for them to fix the problems, but to no avail. I apologize if I missed any information due to their inability to correct the issue.
