ADA Accommodations
Persons with a disability recognized under the Americans with Disabilities Act are entitled to a "reasonable" accommodation. The intent of the 36th District Court is to assure that individuals with a disability have equal and full access to the judicial system.
Requests should be made as soon as the need is identified, preferably fourteen (14) days in advance of the court date. Once approved, the accommodation will be made or an interpreter will be assigned with notification provided to the individual making the request.
