Public parking garages sit within a few blocks of the building, and metered street parking is available on nearby streets. You should plan to arrive early to allow time for security screening and courtroom navigation. The District Clerk’s portal lists the courthouse address on every calendar entry, and you can click the address on most entries to open a map for driving directions.

Virtual Court Hearings

Virtual court hearings let you attend a scheduled setting remotely using a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and a microphone. The court posts the virtual hearing link on the calendar entry once the judge has approved remote attendance, and the link appears in the case detail screen. You should test your equipment before the hearing starts, and you should log in at least 10 minutes early to address any technical issues. Virtual hearings follow the same procedural rules as in-person hearings, and the judge may require you to keep your camera on for the entire setting.

Remote Hearing Access

Remote hearing access lets parties, attorneys, witnesses, and observers attend a hearing from a location other than the courthouse. The court approves remote attendance on a case-by-case basis, and the calendar entry reflects the approval once the clerk enters it. You can request remote attendance by filing a motion with the court, and the judge will rule on the motion before the hearing date. The portal lists the remote attendance link, the dial-in number, and any technical requirements on the case detail screen.

In-Person Hearing Requirements

In-person hearing requirements include a valid government-issued photo ID, compliance with the courthouse dress code, and passage through security screening at the public entrance. You cannot bring weapons, food, drinks, or recording devices into the courthouse, and you should silence your phone before entering the courtroom. The court may require you to wear a mask or follow other health protocols during a hearing, and the District Clerk’s portal posts any current requirements on the home page. You should arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled hearing time to allow time for screening and courtroom navigation.

The case number includes a prefix that indicates the case type and a suffix that indicates the year and sequence of the filing. The party names show the plaintiff and defendant in civil and criminal cases, the petitioner and respondent in family cases, and the decedent or ward in probate cases.
