Criminal District Court No. 5's posted court policy: the three-settings disposition expectation, standing availability for pleas (including transfer pleas from other courts), SB 7 wheel appointments alongside public defenders, chambers pre-trial practice with no ex parte bond rulings, pre-trial admonishment of jail defendants requesting jury trials, oldest-jail-cases-first trial priority, Monday jury selection with 9:00–4:00 trial days, and one-hour-per-side voir dire.
Texas > Dallas County > Criminal District Court No. 5 (Hon. Carter Thompson, per the OCA roster — the posted policy is issued by the court without a printed judge name)
Reviewer note: Own-site instrument composed verbatim (custody sha in the crawl ledger); undated and unsigned on face — bench attribution is the OCA roster's; the 'SB 7 wheel' reference is the instrument's own term for the felony appointment wheel. [RECOMPOSED 2026-09-21 (corpus-0920 P7, digital-layer lane): the full text of the registered file (sha256 d7fb4ed50b61..., 2 pages) replaces the earlier 2,224-character abstract. Method: pypdfium2 text layer reflowed page-aware, cross-checked word-by-word against PyMuPDF (0 substantive difference(s), 0 page-furniture), owner-corpus candidate sentences 100% (1/1) matched, 0 running header/footer line(s) removed, no U+FFFD/U+FFFE/form-feed debris. NOT yet checked page by page against the render, so confidence is medium with an open re-verification task; flip to high when a reviewer has read every page against the PDF. benchpath-tx-corpus0920-p7-2026-09-21] [BY-EYE CHECK 2026-09-21 (corpus-0920 P11): every page of the registered file (sha256 d7fb4ed50b61..., 2 page(s)) read against the rendered PDF; file-stamp, caption and signature-block defects of the text layer corrected from the render; confidence lifted to high. benchpath-tx-corpus0920-p11-2026-09-21]
