Case Study: City of Seabrook avoids case backlog and halves failures-to-appear with Tyler Technologies' Virtual Court

Leading the Way With Virtual Court

Seabrook Municipal Court, serving the city of Seabrook, Texas (pop. ~14,000), faced pandemic closures that threatened case backlogs and public safety. Court leaders and IT moved quickly to keep hearings going remotely while protecting staff and the public.

By adopting Tyler’s Virtual Court and Notify solutions for phone and video hearings plus email/text reminders, Seabrook avoided a backlog, cut failures-to-appear in half, and dramatically reduced warrants and paperwork. The tools improved access and equity for constituents, lightened clerks’ workloads, and helped court staff earn statewide recognition for their innovation.
