Williamson County District and County Courts have been approved by the Office of Court Administration to conduct in person-hearings under the Emergency Order issued by the Supreme Court of Texas. The Regional Presiding Judge and Local Administrative Judge must submit a plan to the Office of Court Administration before any in-person hearings may take place.

The Judiciary recognizes the need to ensure the health and safety of jurors and all parties participating in the court hearings and have taken additional measures to facilitate jury proceedings in Williamson County. The courts will adhere to social distancing and will require face coverings for all participants as well as gloves on request, temperatures will be taken along with completion of the COVID questionnaire before being permitted to enter the building. There will also be sanitizing stations along with maintenance on standby to clean during breaks.

Williamson County District Clerk

It has been reported that county residents have been receiving phone calls regarding their failure to appear for jury service and a warrant has been issued for their arrest. THIS IS A SCAM. Williamson County District and County Courts as per a longstanding policy will NEVER call an individual and ask for money, gift cards, money orders, etc. for payment to clear the warrant for failure to appear for jury. Please do not send money to these individuals when requested. Contact your local law enforcement agency.
