The Liberty County Court at Law is taking the following measures through May 8, 2020 due to COVID-19 (coronavirus):
- Essential hearings will be held via Zoom and live-streamed on the Liberty County Court at Law You Tube Channel, or, if necessary, in the courtroom, per Texas Supreme Court/Texas Court of Criminal Appeals requirements. Essential proceedings include, but are not limited to, temporary restraining orders/temporary injunctions, juvenile detention hearings, and family violence protective orders. All non-essential criminal hearings prior to May 8, 2020, are being reset to a later date.
- The Court is now scheduling non-essential civil hearings via Zoom and live-stream, if the parties have the technology available. All that is needed is a microphone/camera in a computer, laptop, iPad, tablet, or smart phone. Zoom also supports hearings with landline phones or non-video cell phones. No download or training is necessary.
