Summary
Judge Connie Terry reported September court activity: 294 new Class C tickets (219 paid/disposed), 9,142 total pending cases, 35 new civil cases and 1,279 active civil cases; she offered to provide additional data on request.
Judge Connie Terry, Justice of the Peace, presented the court's monthly activity report for September at the Wilson County commissioners meeting.
Terry said the court filed 294 new Class C tickets in September, of which 219 were paid or otherwise disposed. She reported 9,142 total cases pending at month'end, describing those as tickets that have gone unpaid and are "sitting in the warrant drawer." Terry also reported 35 new civil filings, 39 civil disposals, and 1,279 active civil cases. She listed magistrate actions including multiple warrants and orders: several Class C, A/B and felony warrants, three mental-health hearings, 10 magistrate orders of emergency protection and other magistrate orders.
When the presiding official asked whether most of the outstanding citations were from highway patrol, Terry said the older cases are likely highway patrol matters and indicated she could provide more detailed breakdowns on request.
Next steps: Terry invited commissioners to request further data or a different format for the report if they wished more detail. The transcript records no formal action resulting directly from the report.
