    Clerks are of no help. The whole system is a sad joke. Can't even access your case online. They…read moredon't send info about your case via email unless you're an atty.

    Excellent excuse to come to downtown. I would never imagine of being summoned twice in my short…read moretime living in Houston. And, best of all, at the same building. My first visit was in the summer of 2011. It was before me owning a fancy electronic, I wouldn't understand who would use WiFi. So, I met a couple of interesting JD (jury duty) regulars. A school teacher brought an ice chest, she called it "picnic basket." Another guy hardly talked, he finished reading 2 books while we waited hours in the hallway for voir dire. 4 years later, I'm no longer a rookie after reading reviews from my fellow Yelpers. A lady sat next to me complained how cold it was. I thought, "you should read Farrah's review by bringing a jacket." (Hehe. I was laughing silently). I was glad to see many improvements. 4 years ago, we were sorted through many reassigned juror numbers. Then, herded from room to room and waited in the hallways seeing defendants families snared at us. Not to mention can't eat or drink if you didn't bring a "picnic basket." Now, there are plenty of instructional signage to the security check point at the garage prior to entering the tunnel. My appointed time is in the afternoon. So, no more endless waiting for voir dire. Here are my tips: - bathrooms are on both side of vending machines. They're not clearly marked. Just push the doors lightly. If they don't open, it's probably not bathroom. - chairs in the lobby are recliners. If you didn't have breakfast, don't rock on it. You'll get dizzy. (Watch my in-app video) - bring snacks, lunch and something to drink. The cafe is not always open. There is only one microwave available. - take the opportunity of free METRO day pass to shop and eat while you're in downtown. (OMG, I walked a few blocks to Phoenicia for my first visit.)

    I went to renew my handicap placard. I tried Wednesday when I was off only to find out they are all…read moreclosed on Wednesdays now. I had to get permission to go in to work late so I could have it not be delinquent. I can't stand more than a few minutes without intense burning and pain during bad flares, and I'm in a horrible one now since my trunk fell on me and I had already gotten shoulder injections a few weeks prior. My back problems have been present for over 20 years, and I have fibro, AS, and autoimmune issues as well. Anyway, I usually go to the one on Chimney Rock, but that one can take a really long time. If I was off I wouldn't mind so much. The reviews for Griggs as well as calling and speaking with a very nice woman pointed me in the direction of this location. I planned on getting here at 7:30, but rain and life had me moving slow. I arrived in the parking lot after 8:20 and was out by 9:07. That's with me shuffling around my bags because of the rain and trying to protect my paperwork before actually going in. I was even able to get 2 placards, which I was about to ask for as mine looked like who did it and what for after 4 years of actual use. Faded to nothing and taped together in 2 places. I just turned 42 and work full time in addition to having nieces and nephews. My placard is always moving, and I drive my brother's vehicles since I can't easily move the car seats with my musculoskeletal and pain issues. The actual time from waiting in my seat to the desk and out the door was maybe 10-15 minutes. The only suggestion I have is the sign in sheet for the handicapped like the Chimney Rock location has so we don't have to stand in line and wait to check in at the desk for a number. Thankfully the line was short and I spoke with a lovely woman while waiting. However I had brought extra items for the wait(as I've had to wait hours in the past), my chair pillow, umbrella, iPad, and my bag was heavier than usual. Standing was extremely painful. It's not the same as standing with nothing in hand. There were chairs against the wall, but I did not want to risk losing my place in line. Outside of that it was a great experience. I'll be coming to this location for my needs from now on even though it's a bit further from home.

    By far one of the worst tax assessor's office in the city. Severely understaffed and a simple…read moreregistration sticker becomes a day long, torturous experience. After about 2 hours of waiting, I decided to drive across town to another tax assessors office and was in and out in 10 mins.

    Harris County Tax Assessors Office - 4 employees and just one is actually working. They don't care to push customer out in a timely manner. This place need to get audit.
