Criminal Court Date Notifications and Reminders Available Via Text and Email

The N.C. Judicial Branch has launched a new court date notification service allowing you to quickly and easily subscribe to up-to-the-minute criminal court date notifications and reminders via email or SMS/text messages at www.NCcourts.gov/servicesSubscribers are immediately notified of court date, room or session changes, as well as upcoming court date reminders seven days and one day in advance of the court date. Anyone can subscribe to court notifications for criminal cases at www.NCcourts.gov/services. To subscribe, a user must provide the following requirements:

Court notifications are convenience notifications only and not legal notices. Subscribers are responsible for appearing in court on the scheduled date if they are required to do so, regardless of whether they have received any email or text notifications.
