The Texas Municipal Courts Education Center sponsors a listserv for municipal court bailiffs and those warrant officers who serve process for the municipal court. Bailiffs or warrant officers who participate must agree to the Terms of Use (see below). There is no charge to subscribe, as the listserv is sponsored by Yahoo! and contains a small amount of commercial advertising.
Address for TMCEC Bailiffs Warrant Officers: TxBWOM@yahoogroups.com
The purposes of this listserv are to (1) provide participants with up-to-date information on laws and procedures that affect the operations of Texas municipal courts; (2) allow participants to network, problem-solve, and share with others what problems arise in your court; and (3) distribute information relevant to municipal courts, such as information on publications and seminars.
We ask that messages sent over the TMCEC Bailiffs Warrant Officers listserv be limited to matters related to municipal court operations or process, and not to specific law enforcement issues. Please note that this listserv is not to be used as a forum for advertising. Users must be careful to not send irrelevant messages as they will be blocked from participation.
To join the listserv, send your name, title, court name, telephone number, and email address to Hope Lochridge at TMCEC or email this information to her. To remove your name from the listserv, just send a message to unsubscribe.
