The Harris County Engineer's "Court Operations Order Effective March 24, 2020 (click here), the schedule and location of the 209^th District Court is now temporarily changing.  The district courts were order to limit the number of criminal dockets to 8 per day 4 days a week.  The CJC will be closed Friday through Sunday for a thorough and deep cleaning.  The 209^th District Court is now sharing Courtroom 14-4 in the Criminal Justice Center with 3 other courts (176 Judge Nikita Harmon; 232^nd Judge Josh Hill, and 338 Judge Ramona Franklin - click here).

The current arrangement is for the 209^th District Court to have docket every Monday in CJC Courtroom 14-4.  Docket should only be for in-custody cases with emergency situations which require a designated courtroom (including pleas that might result in the resolution of a case).  All other business, including setting or changing bail amounts, can be handled remotely via email, phone, or video teleconference.  If you have any questions about whether or not a matter is appropriate for one of these docket days, please contact the court and ask.

Please immediately e-mail the court coordinator to have any cases scheduled on the court’s docket.
