Some useful proceedings set for Municipal Courts Week

This week is Municipal Courts Week, a statewide focus honoring court staff and the public services they provide. The City of Austin Municipal Court will host some helpful activities open to the public. Today from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the first-floor lobby at Austin City Hall, 301 W. Second St., a traffic safety table provides a chance to meet court staff, learn useful tips on traffic safety and get answers to questions on court services, such as educational traffic programs for youth. And if you’d like help resolving a outstanding class C misdemeanor criminal case, a prosecutor, judge and court staff will be available to do so and to help answer questions at the Terrazas library branch at 1105 E. Cesar Chavez St. No appointments needed. Spanish interpreters will be available. This mobile court event will cover two days: 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8, and 10 a.m. to noon Thursday, Nov. 9. There are also options to set up a payment plan, request community service or petition for a hardship waiver.
