City of Dallas Celebrates Municipal Courts Week

Municipal Court Week starts Nov. 7, and to mark the occasion, the City of Dallas Municipal Court is hosting a series of events.

“This is the time that municipal courts, city councils, and communities join together to show our appreciation for our dedicated municipal judges, court clerks, court administrators, bailiffs, and officers,” says Judge Tonya Goffney. “We use this as an opportunity to share with the public the important role of municipal courts in the criminal justice system and the community as a whole.”

These events are free and open to the public.
