We have mostly focused on Bryan County here because that's the focus of our practice. But other counties in our service area are also affected, and we finally have an update from Judge Coppedge, who serves as the District Judge overseeing Marshall, Johnston, Love and Murray Counties. Essentially, the order boils down to everything not an emergency or involving someone not in custody is stayed until AT LEAST April 16, 2020. So your ordinary civil matters, divorces, probates, and out-of-custody criminal cases are stayed until at least that date (the order actually doesn't say they will resume that date). If you have one of those cases, and you have an attorney, you should talk to his office. If you do not have an attorney, then call the relevant number from the order. The text of the order is here.
