Corpus Christi Municipal Court Brings Justice Closer to the Community
In an effort to make the court system more accessible to residents, the City’s Municipal Court has partnered with the City’s Public Libraries to open a space that can handle a range of court cases. Starting in October 2023, Municipal Court judges will be available to meet with community members who have pending cases, including:
- Resolving class c violations
- Requesting Defensive Driving or Deferred Disposition
- Setting up Payment Plans
- Resolving active warrants
This innovative initiative allows residents to appear before the court at a more convenient time and location. By bringing the court system to the community, residents can access the services they need without worrying about travel or work-hour restrictions. This user-centered design approach not only enhances access to justice, but also highlights the City's commitment to creating solutions that benefit everyone.
The City of Corpus Christi adopted a tax rate that will raise more taxes for maintenance and operations than last year's tax rate. The tax rate will effectively be raised by 4.69 percent and will raise taxes for maintenance and operations on a $100,000 home by approximately $16.87.
