Texas Private Judge Jake Collier Helping Clients and Lawyers
With court dockets constantly overloaded, the prospect for an immediate trial is nearly impossible. A difficult situation is made worse during this "waiting game." While little can be done to speed up the formal legal process, Texas residents have the option of appearing before a private judge.
Sections 151.001 et seq. of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code provides courts and lawyers with an efficient means to eliminate docket congestion, speed the disposition of cases and save litigants the expense of "get ready and wait" multiple docket settings. These sections of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code allow lawyers to get immediate hearings on disputed motions and even bench trials through the use of "Private Judges."
Upon agreement of the parties in civil or family law cases, the judge in whose court the case is filed may refer any or all of the issues in the case to a special judge. The special judge will then try the referred matter in the same manner and with the same powers as an elected judge to determine the matter on its merits. The verdict of the special judge stands as a verdict of the district court and the right to appeal is available without added difficulty.
We recognize the need for Texas courts to clear their dockets faster. For attorneys and their clients looking at the private judging option, we have Jake Collier - retired Denton County District Judge - ready to hear your case.
