Guidelines for 800-Line Calls
TMCEC fields hundreds of calls on the 800-line from the more than 900 cities with municipal courts across Texas. Please observe the following rules when utilizing the 800-line so that TMCEC may efficiently and effectively serve all its constituents:
- Remember, TMCEC only takes questions from judges, clerks, city prosecutors, and court security officers. Please do not refer defendants, commercial vendors, members of your city council, or other peace officers to TMCEC.
- While you may rely on the 800-line as your primary method of resolving court-related questions, we ask that you view it as a last resort.
- Before you decide to call, please make a concerted effort to locate the pertinent portions of relevant statutes (e.g., Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, Transportation Code, etc.).
- Please do not call without first having carefully examined the statute(s) in question.
- Questions pertaining to court costs, records and reporting, record management, local government issues, open record requests, and ethical dilemmas should be made directly to agencies specializing in the subject matter, whenever possible.
- Judges with questions are asked to call in person rather than having clerks or other court personnel call on their behalf.
- Clerks should consult with their judges prior to calling, whenever possible.
- TMCEC cannot give legal advice. Please do not attempt to utilize the legal resources of TMCEC in lieu of consulting your city attorney.
- Questions should not be submitted by means other than the 800-line. Do not use email or chat features to submit a legal question.
- Please do not ask TMCEC to prepare a written response to your legal question—TMCEC is unable to do so.
- Please do not call TMCEC if your question pertains to a personal legal matter.
If you call, your patience is appreciated. Your call will be returned as soon as possible. However, due to the volume of telephone calls received and the importance of other services provided by TMCEC (e.g., training, program development, publications), your call may not be returned immediately. We do make every effort to return calls within 24 hours.
