Welcome to the Civil Data Dashboard

This dashboard indicates District Civil Court Activity Statistics. Each month the Travis County District Clerk’s Office submits data to the Office of Court Administration (OCA). Please note the OCA Clearance Rate calculation for CPS and IV-D cases are indicated in the FAMILY, CPS and IV-D data information accordingly.

The above mentioned information is available to the public. The purpose of this dashboard is to provide ready accessibility and clarity.

This section contains the New Cases Filed and the Other Cases Reaching Docket like Cases Reactivated and All Other Cases Added.

This section contains the Cases Added by individual Case Type.

This section contains the Age of Cases Disposed. The age is divided into five categories: 3 Months or less, 3 to 6 months, 6 to 12 months,12 to 18 months and over 18 months.

This section contains the Active and Inactive Pending Cases by individual Case Type.

The Clearance Rate is calculated by dividing the Cases Disposed by the Cases Added. The Cases Disposed includes cases closed or disposed as well as Inactivated cases. The Cases Added includes the New Cases Filed, Other Cases Added and the Cases Reactivated.

The Docket Adjustment button reflects cases that were previously disposed or added but were not counted as such at the time. Cases that were disposed but not counted result in a negative Docket Adjustment, while cases that were added but not counted result in a positive Docket Adjustment. Positive or negative Docket Adjustments are always reflected in the Pending caseload, but not reflected in the Clearance Rate. Activating the Docket Adjustment button includes those cases in the Clearance Rate for the Calendar Year, the County Fiscal Year or the State Fiscal Year time periods only. Docket Adjustments account for minor fluctuations in the pending caseload from month to month.

Due to the way that CPS and IV-D data is broken out, some visualizations are not available:

• Age of Cases Disposed by CPS and IV-D.

This data is presented using two chart types: the Pie chart and the Bar chart. The Pie Charts present data starting in 2011 until the current year. Use the Year and Month filter if you want to look at a specific time period. The Bar Charts present data by Year, Month and Quarter. Use the circular arrow on the bottom right of the Bar chart to switch the time period.

This data visualization was developed by the Travis County Courts Technology Team.
