Justice is served! Recently, I got a bogus ticket from the…read moreDallas Police Department for the alleged violation of parking in a bike lane. I knew I was innocent. I just had to get the judge on my side on this and make them see things how I see things. They say that a man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client. Well, this fool fought the law, and won! Now, the prosecution (the City of Dallas) has to prove guilt, and I shouldn't have to prove my innocence. However, the officer who wrote the violation wrote a violation for violating a non-existent law! There is no law on the books of the City of Dallas that prohibits you from parking in a bike lane. Park away! Being from out of town, I wrote the judge a quick letter on the back of my ticket, and a few weeks later, I received notification from Dallas Municipal Court that all charges had been dropped! Justice is served.

Corruption second only to Chicago, the City Municipal Courts make a mockery of the judicial system. Imgine, I can walk up to a Federal Judge in District Court and say "hey man, will you sign this order?". But here, if you're a lawyer without a full suit and tie, they make you sit in the gallery with all the unwashed unrepresented. Ridiculous!!! They recently tried to fired one judge because she was disbarred!!! And she wouldn't leave!! Another was fired for testing positive for marijuana. The building, which used to be the Dallas Police headquarters, usually smells of stale urine and the a/c is on the blink much of the time. They had to close for a day or two last year because the temperature inside the building was . . . well, really too hot! If you get a ticket in Dallas, hire a competent ticket lawyer. Not me, I'd rather starve than have to come down here everyday!

In the 21st century, it's hard to believe that there were times when women were considered second…read moreclass citizens and it wasn't all that long ago. Yes, that happened. This marker points out one of the points in time where it changed. The marker is in front of the Old Red Courthouse, facing South Record Street. It reads, "Although the ratification of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted women the right to vote in 1920, women were not permitted to serve on juries in Texas until 1954. Efforts to add women to jury lists began soon after passage of the 19th amendment, when it became clear that the right of jury service would not be granted to women along with the right of suffrage. These efforts hastened during the 1930s and 1940s. During this time, local newspapers drew attention to the issue by reporting on women who were called to jury duty by mistake, and the Dallas Morning News pointed out the absurdity of a system that would allow female district judges but denied those same women the right to sit on a jury. "The amendment to the Texas Constitution requiring that women serve on grand and petit juries was finally approved by voters on November 2, 1954. Although women were not officially added to the Dallas County jury selection lists until August of 1955, women who continued to be called to duty "by mistake" had the right to serve for the first time. In November 1954, Adelyne Dransfield, the sole female member of the jury on which she was serving, was elected as one of the first female jury "foremen" in Dallas County. The first occasions for women to serve on juries in Dallas County were key steps in the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the achievement of full citizenship rights for women in Dallas and throughout the nation. The first women to serve on juries in Dallas County asserted their right to complete this very important job of citizenship with legitimacy and confidence." This is marker 15464 and it was erected in 2008 by the Texas Historical Commission. There is metered street parking nearby. [Review 768 of 2024 - 526 in Texas - 21799 overall]

The selected Jurors were not interacted with individually by those who selected them for the jury, so why all day and so many to select from only 13 needed?! Needlessly long pointless experience.

You just walk in the building via the parking garage, go up the escalator, and then through the metal detectors. After going through the metal detectors, your path will change depending on where you're headed. For people with jury duty, you proceed to the right and check in with the staff there. I much preferred my jury duty at Allen over Crowley. Once I checked in, I received a bit more information and headed to the main room where all other potential jurors were sent. Usually my luck runs out but not on the day of my most recent jury duty. Not only did I find out the good news that I passed my principal certification exam, I also got dismissed from jury duty and had a free day from work. Once you throw in the fat $6 check I later received in the mail, I came out winning. Oh wait, you have to deduct $3 for parking. But still, I got a free day from work for being dismissed from jury duty and I made 3 bucks? #winning
