When I inherited the bench of the 179th District Criminal Court on Jan. 1, 2009, this Court had nearly 1100 criminal cases on the docket. This was the highest docket of all the 22 felony District Courts of Harris County, Texas. The nearest Court was more than 100 cases fewer.
The 179th has gone from the 22nd worst docket to the 6th best in less than 6 months.
June 22, 2009, we have reduced the backlog of cases and the docket was 645. That means we moved and disposed of 450 criminal cases. How did we do this?
1st of all by having the finest team of District Attorneys who gave up their lunch hour and worked 2 hours longer everyday since Jan. 1st. Stephen St. Martin, Spence Graham, Neelu Lambert, Lisa Bailey, Maite Sample and Jennifer Meriwether are the District Attorneys who have worked in the 179th since Jan. 1st 2009. The Defense bar also has worked extra hard to help achieve these results.
No Court in recent decades in this county has moved so many cases in such a short time, none!
Today, August 13, 2009, we have continued the hard work, missing lunch nearly everyday and the docket has been reduced to 577 criminal cases (from the high of 1100 cases). All of this in just 8 1/2 months.
