Tarrant County Justice Court Pct. 1 is conducting E-Hearing/E-Trials by using Zoom video conferencing. It is free to download at zoom.us or you can download the app directly to your smartphone. Note: An E-Hearing/E-Trial requires that your e-mail address be shared with the other party. This is to facilitate sharing of exhibits prior to hearings/trials.

What happens then?
