Texas' chief court administrator launches new blog

Let me refer readers to a new blog called "CourTex" authored by Carl Reynolds, head of the Texas state Office of Court Administration, a former Department of Criminal Justice General Counsel, and a truly knowledgeable insider on the politics and policy of the subjects he works on. This makes him easily the highest profile Texas state agency head to operate a blog related to the subject matter from his job.

Carl kicked things off by providing a number of links to critical information about Texas courts online, continuing with a Legislative Report, a discussion of strategic trends facing court administrators, and an informative, link-filled post about state-level "judicial commissions on children."

I've temporarily taken Grits' blogroll down to spend some time updating and revamping it this summer, but when it reappears, Courtex will be on there.
