Special Criminal Misdemeanor Disposition Docket To Clear Backlog Of Cases Delayed Due To COVID-19
The Tulsa County District Court, with the assistance of the Tulsa County District Attorney’s office, the Tulsa County Public Defender’s Office, the Tulsa County Court Clerk’s office and the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting a special criminal misdemeanor disposition docket at the Cox Convention Center (“Cox docket”) on January 29, 2021. Representatives from each office will be present during the docket.
This docket will take care of about 400 people whose cases were previously suspended due to the court system taking COVID-19 protocols. The County Court system said in a press release that they have been dealing with the significant backlog for months and now have the ability to efficiently and safely take care of it. They do expect to see every case Friday, but there is a system in place to do so.

After more than a decade of planning, the Oklahoma City convention center is complete.
An almost $300 million project geared toward drawing crowds to Oklahoma City is now complete. Officials said this convention center will be a turning point for the local economy.
“It s a great feeling to be standing here in this building today being able to have events regardless of the situation that we re in right now,” MAPS program manager David Todd said.
This new space is more than double the size of the Cox Convention Center and is meant to bring in bigger attractions.
“I think what you re seeing is the city moving into the next tier of conventions. Cox Center served us well for many years, but its antiquated and it s small,” Todd said.
