DALLAS — The Dallas municipal court system will not hold any trials, jury duty, hearings or walk-in court cases on Friday, July 14, due to a technical issue, according to the city. The system wasn't able to hold these proceedings on Thursday either.
In a news release on Friday, the city said the court will be open to provide general citation information and accept customer documents but that the court cannot accept payments in person, online or by phone.
Any cases that were set to take place on Friday will be rescheduled, according to the city. Updated court dates will be mailed out.
The city said any citation payments that are due while the court system is down will be accepted after service is restored.
It's unclear when the court system will be restored.
This is the second day in a row the Dallas court system isn't able to hold trials, jury duty or hearings due to the issue.
According to the city, the court's tech issue is unrelated to a ransomware attack in early May. The attack affected city systems, including the municipal court and police and fire departments.
It took about a month for the city to fully restore its systems.
