Dallas County District Clerk Gary Fitzsimmons sends word that public access to court records is now available online.
“Until now, only docket information has been available to the public on the Dallas County website,” said Fitzsimmons. “Now, pending documents in seven District Civil courts, eight Felony courts, all Family court documents from 2003 to present, and one County Court at Law can be viewed. Documents from the remaining courts will be available by the end of the year.”
“We now have now one digital County Court at Law,” said County Clerk John Warren.
Fitzsimmons has made technological innovation a priority in his administration. He began by implementing an e-filing system that delivers original petitions, motions and other court documents electronically.
He said his office ensured that sensitive information, especially documents involving children, remains secure.
“Other types of information may also be limited through the use of a redaction request form consistent with the law we have provided on our website,” Fitzsimmons said.
I don’t understand why being gay has anything to do with Dallas County court files?
It doesn’t which is why it’s not mentioned in the article.
The title of the article says gay district clerk….what does his sexuality have to do with getting court files online?
It’s the reason a gay newspaper would include this press release as news. The news itself has nothing to do with his being gay. Had this new system been implemented by John Warren, for example, we would not have included it. The mention is there for those readers who do not know who Gary is or why an LGBT newspaper would report news about county court records.
I have stopped reading the Dallas Voice for over a year, and another reason I will not read it in the future.
“I don’t understand why being gay has anything to do with Dallas County court files?”
Confused, I don’t understand why you used a question mark at the end of your sentence that isn’t a question.
I don’t understand why your criticism has anything to do with not reading the Voice in the future.
YES! And not only is Democrat Gary Fitzsimmons making Dallas County government more efficient, but so too are Joe Wells and John Ames. Examples: I got my Grand Jury (duty) check — signed by Joe, cosigned by Gary — in 10 days rather than the customary three weeks. I got my property tax notice, with an appropriate downward adjustment b/c of falling property values, months ago.
GO DEMS!
I’m a democrat who won’t be voting for this candidate like I did 4 years ago! Not caring about your employees speaks volumes!
@angelicc Do u work for him? How can he say he is concerned about the people of the public if he doesn’t treat his employees right? I’ll be sure to remember that when I’m at the polls!!!!
I agree with Angelicc. He is a hot head. He won’t be getting my vote.
