Virtual Jury Trial

The Civil Courts have Moved!

On February 6, 2023, the Civil Courts moved to the new Travis County Civil and Family Courts Facility located at 1700 Guadalupe Street, Austin, Texas, 78701. Please visit the new CFCF website here.

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties and properly announced, or notified by the Judge, ALL contested hearings and trials are in person at the new CFCF at 1700 Guadalupe Street.

During the COVID-19 State of Emergency, the Texas Supreme Court authorized virtual jury trials to ensure the health and safety of our jurors. In order to successfully conduct every aspect of a jury trial virtually, it was necessary to implement a variety of easy to use technological solutions. Please see the resources listed below if you have been summoned to participate in a virtual jury trial.
