HOXIE, Ark. (KAIT) - The Hoxie City Council approved two ordinances Tuesday night, affecting the location of court and a new bike trail.
The first ordinance officially recognizes court will be held at the Lawrence County Courthouse in Walnut Ridge.
Supporters of the ordinance say that it will make the court hearing process smoother.
It’s all part of a statute requiring court to be held in specific locations in the county. With the state’s new district court system, cities will have to transition to the new system, combining the district courts into a state court.
