Pct. 4 Rex Baker spoke of figures provided to the court from the Office of Court Administration. He spoke of monthly meetings held with all Justices of the Peace in the county. He spoke of monthly reports that are sent to the Office of Court Administration by all courts in the State of Texas. He spoke of there being great distinctions between the duties of the Judge and the Clerks. He spoke of significant amount of work being done by the Clerks regarding traffic tickets. Each case is unique. Judge Baker spoke of other types of cases that are handled (evictions, hot checks, small claims, etc.) and he spoke of cases that had not been processed when he first came into office that he had to deal with – the report to the Office of Court Administration is only for new cases and does not reflect the unresolved cases. He spoke of restitution not being county money and he does not recommend the county taking on the fiduciary responsible for restitution – restitution money does not appear on the monthly report (only fines and court costs). Judge Baker suggested looking at the number of cases filed and disposed and do not look at the dollar amount collected during the budget consideration process. He also spoke of jury trials and trials before the court. Judge Powers commended the Justices of the Peace for their work.
