33rd / 424th District Courts

The Supreme Court of Texas has promulgated Rule 78a to be effective 9/1/2010. It is now in the comment period.

This forum will be a place to discuss the drug court. What it is and is not, who is eligible, why a defendant might want to enter this process, what happens, what's the benefit to the public and the offenders. Your comments and suggestions are invited. (remember: to comment in this forum requires that you be a registered user on this site)

Documentation

Full documentation of the drug court program will appear in a "book" section when and as fully developed.

Discuss in this forum the effectiveness of CPS, ways that the Court can differently handle the CPS cases, modifications that might be made to orders, etc.

Feel free to "vent" as may be necessary or helpful to your own mental health, but I'd like to also solicit your ideas about positive improvements that I can make in our processes.
