New Administrative Order for Bryan County Initial Appearances

4/29/2020

0 Comments

 
Today, Judge Campbell issued AO-2020-29, his latest administrative order addressing scheduling issues associated with COVID-19.  Pursuant to that order:
1)  If you are merely cited for a criminal charge (as in, for example, you just receive a traffic ticket but do not go to jail), your initial appearance date is now June 15, 2020, at 1:30 PM.
2)  If you are arrested, but make bond prior to initial appearance before a judge, then your initial appearance date is also June 15, 2020, at 1:30 PM. 
3) If you have previously been directed to appear on May 1, 2020, pursuant to AO-2020-8, then your court date has been reset to June 15, 2020, at 1:30 PM.
Please note that this ONLY applies to cases filed in Bryan County District Court.  If you have something in a different county, or even in a municipal court within Bryan County, you should contact your attorney (if you have one), or if you do not have an attorney, the specific court clerk for your matter, to find out what the status of your court date is.  Quarantine is bad enough - quarantine in jail (because you failed to appear for a hearing and were either arrested on your warrant or on a Driving Under Suspension charge) is even worse.
