If your county has a direct filing system, will you please send me an e-mail with a brief explanation of how it works and how your office staffs intake? Thanks.

Jana, that begs a few questions. Are you in favor of direct filing? If you are, is it in your capacity as a prosecutor, attorney at law, law abiding citizen of Williamson County, or as an official representative of District Attorney JB?

Hi John R.

Although I'm not sure what difference it makes, here are the answers. Yes, I am in favor of a direct filing system. I was hoping to learn from a variety of different counties how their system works.

As far as my capacity, I think I would be safest in making the official disclaimer that all comments reflect the views of the author and should not be presumed to be the views of anyone else in Williamson County. And I never presume to speak for my boss, unless he tells me directly what to say!
