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 12 Randomly chosen felony and 12 randomly chosen misdemeanor dismissals derived from the Harris County District Clerk’s website – dockets tab – with emphasis on some new faces – lawyer submissions welcome!
