Criminal
Matters (for all counties)
Grand
Jury
During
the week of Grand Jury, a day and time will be set aside
for all defendants, who have bonded out of the jail
relative to that county, to report to the courtroom of
that county for sign-in.
The Defendant
Sign-In Form will need to be completed and handed in
at sign-in. Click
Court Calendar and go to the
Grand Jury date of interest and a schedule for that week
will be posted.
Arraignments
Any
defendant who has been indicted with a non-capital
charge can be arraigned by Waiver
of Arraignment. This
form must be signed by the defendant, defendant’s
attorney, the District Attorney, and notarized by a
Notary Public prior to the Judge’s signature.
Trial
Dates
Defendants
will obtain a trial date at their arraignment.
If entering a Waiver of Arraignment, review the
Court Calendar for the upcoming criminal terms, obtain
an Agreed Order Setting
Trial, and submit the order to the Court
Administrator for Judge Vollor’s signature.
Should
you have difficulty obtaining a signature for the order,
file the proper motion and schedule a hearing date.
Pleas,
Motions and Revocation Hearings
There
are no days set aside for taking pleas or hearing
motions. To
schedule a plea date or motion hearing, contact the
Court Administrator for availability.
You will then be directed to contact the District
Attorney’s office to ensure their availability.
If you are scheduling a motion hearing, you must
provide a copy of the motion along with the Notice of
Hearing to the Court Administrator.
Continuances
Judge
Vollor requires all continuance requests be submitted
with the proper motion and a hearing be scheduled.
Evidence
Presentation System
We
are very fortunate to have the JAVS Evidence

If you need to ‘practice’ or need a demonstration, please contact the
Court Administrator.
Should
you wish to use a PowerPoint presentation, you must
bring your own laptop. Our equipment does not
contain PowerPoint presentation program.
