    A How-To Guide for Your Upcoming Court Appearance

    #1: Courtroom Dress Attire

    Dress code is an important part of appearing in court. Best practices include:

    • Dress professionally. Jeans are acceptable if they do not have holes. Ties are acceptable, but not required.
    • Wear closed-toe shoes. Heels are acceptable, but not required.
    • Wear neutral colors. When possible, avoid bright colors or eye-catching patterns.

    There’s no need to overthink your outfit as long as you dress neatly.

    #2: Location, Location, Location

    When it comes to making a good impression, timeliness is key.The last thing you want to be doing on the day of your court date is scrambling to find the right room.

    The Williamson County Courthouse is located at 405 MLK St, Georgetown, TX 78626. Parking is available in the onsite lot or the garage across the street.

    • For misdemeanor charges, report to the 1st floor.

    Is there a chance I could be arrested when I appear in court?

    No. Most of the time, a court appearance is just a “check-in.” It simply allows the prosecutor and defense attorney to touch base regarding your case.

    Will I have to talk to the judge?

    No. You will not have to speak to the judge or prosecutor.

    Will victims and/or witnesses be there, too?

    No. There won’t be alleged victims or witnesses present in the courtroom.

    What if I have additional questions about my court appearance?

    If for whatever reason your case varies from a standard court appearance, your defense attorney should inform you far in advance. Be sure to voice any questions or concerns with your lawyer before your court date.
