Your Contact Details

Text Notices and Accommodations
Two yes-or-no questions sit near the bottom. The first asks whether you want text messages for official court notices; opting in generally gets you faster alerts about upcoming dates. The second asks whether you need a language translator or an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act for in-person or virtual hearings. If you check “Yes,” a blank line lets you specify what you need, such as an ASL interpreter, large-print documents, a UbiDuo device, or a spoken-language translator.4City of Dallas.
