Lastly, be very mindful that the security Staff have a Mount Everest size Chip on their Shoulders, apparently making Eye Contact Warrants a Strip Search for Jury Duty. I'm all for doing my "Civic Duty" but when you are Talked down to like You are a Child, at that point I question My Civic Duty. I'm still trying to Wrap My Mind around how a Belt is deemed a threat.

The e-filing system feels unfair to many consumers, especially those already struggling…read morefinancially. If a filing is rejected for a small mistake, the fees are still taken immediately, yet refunds can take days or even weeks. Meanwhile, court deadlines continue running. This creates unnecessary hardship for people dealing with urgent legal matters like evictions or family court issues. Many people cannot afford to have hundreds of dollars tied up while trying to correct a simple filing error. The process should help people access justice, not discourage them from pursuing it.

What a boondoggle! The good reviews are from YEARS ago. Something happened, what I don't know…read more Dont go here in person unless you want to wait sitting on the floor - see my photos. Send your tax payment in via registered mail, yes there is a small charge, but the wait to pay in person is SO LONG, for me over an hour. My time is worth the few dollars instead of waiting for an hour. I previously lived in Harris Co & they had a quick EXPRESS drop off for payments that had a check made out. HARRIS CO was a county of millions, yet the wait was so short through express there. Why so long here, especially since I didn't wait until the last minute.? Here, they need a mystery shopper to prompt them to expedite the process. It is disgustingly slow.

They have a metal detector at the front but it is quite painless and fast! There is barely any parking around the building so it is better for you to find a parking garage or lot nearby and just walk there. The restrooms were clean and all the staff was really friendly. Unfortunately the judge called the jury bystanders in 55 minutes after the initial stated time listed in the hearing letter. That was a bummer ... but then the judge explained why we had to wait so that was nice. Lots of construction nearby so be ready to walk through some dirty/dusty/muddy streets.

I don't like Bexar County Courts, because of their relationship with River City Bail Bonds. Along…read morethese lines, River City has played it dirty, at least 18 times throughout the duration of the Bail Bonds Period. And I had to report this to the Police. For instance, on 3 occasions whenever I checked in, and I received a text message the very next day saying that I did not actually check- in. In 2 instances, River City Bail Bonds was outside when I called, and I don't know if Kristy and/or Misty logged in the check-in phone call. They indicated that they would log my call the very next day. In one instance, I requested a letter of dismissal, but the letter that River City provided was really vague and it did not actually dismiss the charges. Several weeks in a row. I made anywhere from 3 to 9 phone calls on each check-in day (on Thursdays) and absolutely no one picked up the phone. This might have happened across 7 check-in days/weeks. In one instance, an individual picked up the phone and immediately hung up without acknowledging me. In a few instances, I dialed the phone number that River City Bail Bonds was texting me through... This phone number was (1-833-682-8824). This number was a perfectly functioning phone number and it rang each time I dialed it, but absolutely no one picked up despite making dozens of phone calls week-over-week, for multiple weeks. Then one day, River City Bail Bonds notified me via e-mail, saying that I had not checked in at all for the past few weeks. During that phone call, I let them know that I had made dozens of calls to the (1-833-682-8824) phone number which they had been texting me through. Then they suggested that that particular phone number did not work with them. At this point, I returned to the following phone number (1-830-491-5245) to make check-in phone calls. Additionally, I believe that one of my meetings with the Judge, was way too extemporaneous... I e-mailed Bexar County Courthouse to ask about the meeting time, and this was never really provided to me. Then the morning of the scheduled meeting, they sent me the meeting time in a very extemporaneous fashion. And I barely caught it. I was approx. 24 minutes late to the second meeting with the judge. A few additional points here. Google indicates that a minor harassment charge should only last 90 to 120 days, whereas I have been in this system for over 10 months. And believe it or not, I was a Texas Foster Youth throughout the 90's for almost a decade. So I believe that I'm somewhat of a minority. And last but not least, the way that River City Bail Bonds has acted... And the way that others around me have acted throughout the Bail Bonds Period, leads me to believe that maybe there is a considerable amt. of money in putting me behind bars.... And to let you know, I'm a stand up type of a guy who was secured and implemented multiple federally funded R01 research Grants throughout the duration of my career. These grants have centered on research ethics and various community interventions. Sincerely, Jason
