The Downtown Austin Community Court (DACC) was established to address quality of life and public order offenses occurring in the downtown Austin area utilizing a restorative justice court model. DACC offers alternatives to fines and fees for defendants to handle their cases such as community service restitution and participation in rehabilitation services. Defendants who reside outside of a 40-mile radius from DACC are offered an opportunity to handle their case through correspondence action, meaning the entire judicial process can be handled through email or postal mail. Correspondence action eliminates an undue burden requiring a defendant to travel back to Austin to appear for their case and it allows for quicker access to court services of Austin residents by reducing the number of individuals required to appear for their case. This measure tracks how many cases involving non-homeless individuals have been handled through correspondence action recorded in the court's case management system.
The data source for number and percentage of instances where people access court services other than in person for DACC has a annual range based on fiscal year 2015- first quarter fiscal year 2020.

The Downtown Austin Community Court (DACC) is dedicated to processing cases efficiently and in alignment with nationally established time standards to reduce delay and ensure timely justice, but cases related to individuals experiencing homelessness typically take longer than 180 days to adjudicate due to the case management activities associated with these cases. Case management activities include but are not limited to acquiring birth certificates, Social Security cards, accessing substance use, mental health and medical services and acquiring permanent housing. Cases related to non-homeless individuals are typically adjudicated within 30-180 days. DACC monitors the length of time it takes to process cases and makes necessary adjustments to ensure compliance with time standards.
