221st District Court

Judge Lisa Michalk, Presiding

All 221st District Court criminal jury trials are continued until September 14, 2020 and we will re-assess at that time. If you received a jury summons for any date in May, June, July or August you may disregard it.

The 221st District Court is now having in person dockets for defendants out on bond. If you cannot appear with your client for a 1st appearance please contact Jennifer Turner at 936-538-3243 ahead of time to make sure your client is good on COB, then email the court and let us know a good reset date. We are also handling bonded pleas in person so please contact the District Attorney's office (221st Prosecutors information listed below) for an offer.  Once you have an offer and want to set it to plea contact the court and we will set it on a Wednesday or Thursday to plea. It is very important that we stay within the guidelines and keep our numbers under control so please give the court plenty of notice in setting a case to plea. We are wanting to meet the needs of all involved so if you need to Zoom for an appearance please contact our office and we will make the arrangements.  We will continue to have criminal dockets via Zoom to meet the needs of all interested parties so if your client is in custody please contact the court and we will set them on any upcoming Tuesday. If you have not received a new court date please contact your attorney or the court.  The contact information is tonnie.whitney@mctx.org or 936-539-7808.  Our foremost concern is for the safety of the attorneys, the litigants, the witnesses, and staff members. We understand that this is a very challenging time and ask that you be patient and stay in touch with the court.  If you ever have any questions our office is always available to assist.
Thank you!
Judge Michalk
