303rd District Court

Get up and give - TODAY is North Texas Giving Day!💥

All children need a caring adult by their side, someone to look out for their best interests and keep their wellbeing in mind - an advocate. Your donation helps Dallas CASA provide a volunteer to advocate for every child removed from an unsafe home and placed into foster care.

Donations today are amplified by community funds and go just a bit farther to help the children. Thank you!

We had our first zoom trial this morning. Four lawyers, 2 guardians and 3 witnesses. Real time worked like a charm. Witnesses testified from work or home. We were able to stream to you tube for a few minutes and then ran into technical difficulties. I think we have that worked out. After trial, went to work considering cases on submission, entering agreed orders and finalizing renditions. Seems like we’ve reached a kind of normal.
