Criminal Section Responsibilities

The District Clerk is the office of record for all criminal proceedings heard in the 394th Judicial District Court. All felony indictments are filed, placed on the court’s docket and the appropriate papers issued. This office is also responsible for the timely filing and preparation of clerk records for post-conviction writs and appeals. Twice a year the clerk summons and picks a new Grand Jury to assist with indicting felony cases.
