               Program Broad Goals
                   Court staff will continue to provide excellent customer service in an efficient,  professional
                   and courteous manner.
                   Court staff will work with the Keller Police Department to
                   update the automated citations to electronically
                   record the state mandated information set by the
                   Legislature for 2017.
                   The Court will conduct hearings and trials in a timely,
                   professional and dignified manner to provide an
                   impartial setting for cases to be adjudicated by the
                   Municipal Court Judge.
                   Court staff will continue to work in conjunction with the
                   collection agency and other involved agencies to
                   reduce the number of outstanding arrest warrants.   This
                   process will include processing the outstanding citations
                   to active warrant status on a monthly basis to insure
                   cases are current and more collectible.   Maintenance
                   of aged uncollectible warrants will be updated on a
                   quarterly basis.
                   Court staff will work in partnership with the Texas Department of Public Safety to operate the
                   driver’ s license suspension program for defendants who have outstanding or delinquent fines
                   in the Court.
                   The court staff will make every effort to obtain the TMCEC court clerks certification.   There
                   are three different levels of certification.   Our goal is to have all staff members certified at
                   some level by the end of this calendar year.

               Program Service Description
