Adversary hearing for Martinez reset after attorney reports dental emergency
Summary
The court recessed and agreed to reset the adversary hearing in the Martinez matter after the mother's attorney reported a dental emergency; the court instructed the defendant to stay in contact with counsel and the department and said a new date will be circulated by email.
A High Plains Child Protection Court adversary hearing in the matter of Lucrecia (Lucero) Martinez was reset after the mother’s attorney notified the court of a dental emergency and that she could not appear.
The court recalled cause number 99656D for the Martinez adversary and told the mother—who confirmed she expected to be released from custody soon—to remain in touch with her attorney and with the Department of Family and Protective Services. The judge said she would not announce a firm reset date from the bench because the absent attorney must be consulted; instead the court will circulate a new date to counsel and the department by email.
The court instructed the mother and the department to exchange placement and contact information upon her release. The record shows the mother said she expected to live with her father in Amarillo and committed to provide contact information to counsel and DFPS upon release.
