Oklahoma City Municipal Court aims for date after May 1 for re-opening

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH)--The Oklahoma City Municipal Court is working towards re-opening later in May if health conditions approve.

The Court will not open May 1, like many other places in Oklahoma City.

The City of Oklahoma City announced that the Court is contacting people to re-schedule hearing that had been scheduled for early May.

You can call the Court at 405-297-3898 from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays for updates on cases or to make sure the court has your most recent information.

“Along with our City leadership, we’ll be evaluating public health data to determine when we’ll re-open, and how to do that safely,” said Municipal Court Administrator LaShawn Thompson. “Right now, we’re working toward a partial re-opening later in May. But until plans are more firmly in place, it’s best for everyone with a pending court case to make sure we have their updated phone number and address. We’ll be contacting people proactively to reschedule hearings when necessary.”

Court sessions have been on hold since March due to the coronavirus outbreak.

All hearings are being rescheduled without penalties or warrants.
