Shelby Courts cease sending updates to Doxpop.

Important Note: This county's data was restored to the Doxpop system in November, 2011. Read the details here: http://blog.doxpop.com/2011/11/long-odyssey-doxpops-4-year-quest-pays.html

Shelby County has migrated to the Odyssey case management system that is provided by the Indiana State Court Administration. Although Doxpop has permission to receive information from all courts in Indiana, we have been advised by the Indiana Division of State Court Administration that Courts using the Odyssey system are not capable of providing bulk exports to those requesting access to public records. Therefore, Doxpop will not be updating case information for Shelby Courts after 4/25/2011.

To ease the transition, Doxpop will maintain the Shelby Court records on our system in their current form until the end of 2011, but we have posted an advisement to seek more current information at the top of each case record.

Doxpop continues to seek access to public records in bulk from counties using the Odyssey system, and hope that everyone will join us in asking that the State Court Administration enhance their recently procured system to provide services such as bulk access that have been available on older systems for more than a decade. In the meantime, you can access case information and very basic services for the Shelby Courts at http://mycase.in.gov.

Access to real-time index and image information from the Shelby County Recorder's office continues to be available and is unaffected by this change.

Directory of Indiana local government information now available.

Last week on this blog, we introduced a comprehensive and growing set of links to local government information in Indiana. You can find it by following the link in the right sidebar of this blog.

This is a community effort- We invite all of you to pass along any links we've missed or let us know of corrections.

Thanks to Tina Gunter in the title division at Doyle Legal, who jumped in right away to add several important links to information from Marion County!
