Harris Criminal Courthouse Closed for the Holidays
Please be advised that the Harris County Courthouse will be closed on December 23, 24, 30, and the 31st for the Holidays. Since Christmas and New Years Day falls on a Saturday this year the courthouse will be closed for more days then in past years. It seems like the criminal justice center is going to be quiet next week since I have a typical docket this week compared to an extremely light docket the following week. Nevertheless, I will be "on call" during the holiday season. Sadly, arrests do not slow down during this time.
I am staying in Houston for the first time in a long time for this holiday season. Since neither me or my wife have family here in Houston we typically travel this time of year. I will be unwrapping our gifts under our own tree this year. I will be pleased to watch the long lines of people at the airport from my living room television instead of being in them this year.
