DRAFT_S.D.5Number and Percentage of court cases that are adjudicated within case processing time standards- Downtown Austin Community Court

The Downtown Austin Community Court (DACC) is dedicated to processing cases efficiently and in alignment with nationally established time standards to reduce delay and ensure timely justice, but cases related to individuals experiencing homelessness typically take longer than 180 days to adjudicate due to the case management activities associated with these cases. Case management activities include but are not limited to acquiring birth certificates, Social Security cards, accessing substance use, mental health and medical services and acquiring permanent housing. Cases related to non-homeless individuals are typically adjudicated within 30-180 days. DACC monitors the length of time it takes to process cases and makes necessary adjustments to ensure compliance with time standards.
