Why can't I e-file on juvenile cases in every county?

There has been some confusion among folks who are trying to e-file on juvenile cases in Allen, Marion, Madison and Johnson counties.

These counties track their juvenile cases on the Quest case management system. Although Quest is in the process of getting e-filing working on their system, they have not yet completed the certification process with the state.

For these four counties e-filing on juvenile cases (JC, JD, JM, JP, JS, JT) is not always available and, of course if the cases are not available, e-filing is not mandatory.

To make things a bit more interesting, it appears that in Marion some JP cases are not on the Quest system, So there, your best bet is to try to locate the case through the e-filing system and if you can't find it, contact the court for advice.

Presumably Quest will complete their certification process soon. When that occurs, we'll post a second article here to let you know.

It took a  while to find a resource for this on the State's web site, but here's where we found the information...

Did e-filing just become mandatory in your county? Tips for getting started quickly...

This week, e-filing becomes mandatory for all filings on existing cases in Clark, Shelby, Harrison, Madison, Henry, Floyd and Hendricks County Courts.

If you are feeling unprepared, we can help.

First, you'll need to get your e-filing account set up correctly. At a minimum this means you need to have:

• One or more E-Filing Users
• One or more Attorney records.
• A service contact record for each attorney in the firm
• A credit card entered to pay any filing fees incurred.

The initial account setup is the most challenging part of e-filing, so if any of the components listed above are missing, we invite you to call us for help in this portion of the process. It's much easier to work on this together before you begin than to go back and correct problems. Give us a call at 866-369-7671 during office hours and we'll walk you through this part. We promise that a friendly and patient person will answer your call.

If you have looked at your e-filing account administration page and all of the components listed above are in place, you are ready to begin. It may help to briefly review our videos demonstrating a filing on an existing case and filing a new case:

Of course, you should always feel free to give us a call if you'd like someone on the phone to walk you through the process the first couple of times. We are happy to help.

New courts added to the data flowing from Odyssey

The November update to court data sent from the State's Odyssey case management system includes several new courts. However, most are for counties already on-line, and are provided to fill in the gaps because of the more complete coverage of civil case types detailed in our last blog post.

The additional courts added in existing counties are:

• Allen County Superior Court 2 (Current probate cases.)
• Allen County Superior Court 3 (Current probate cases.)
• Allen County Superior Court 9 (Current probate cases.)
• Madison County Court (Historical cases only- this court is no longer active.)

In addition, Tipton City Court has been added and is completely new to us this month. The Tipton City Court primarily handles citations with a few misdemeanor cases each week.

Welcome Sullivan County--And a few other county announcements

We have a few county announcements to share with you today.

First of all, we are very excited to announce the addition of the Sullivan County Recorder to the Doxpop database. Information on mortgages, deeds, liens, and other documents filed from July 2004 and forward can be now be researched on Doxpop. A very special thanks goes out to Sullivan Recorder Shelly Parris and her staff for making this effort possible.

We also have a few announcements regarding the removal of records of two Doxpop county providers.

Doxpop is removing Allen Criminal cases from our system due to Allen County's recent conversion to the Odyssey Case Management system. We have maintained this historical data without updates since February 2011 to ease the transition as Allen migrates to their new case management system. To access current criminal case information for Allen County, go to http://mycase.in.gov. Non-probate civil cases for Allen County continue to be available and regularly updated on Doxpop.

We also must announce the removal of records from the Madison County Recorder's office. Madison County is currently migrating to Fidlar's "Laredo" system. On October 1st, 2011 the transition will be complete, and all recorded documents for Madison County will be available through Laredo and cease to be available via Doxpop. On October 1st, Madison County's records will become available on a pay-as-you-go basis via Tapestry (http://tapestry.fidlar.com) for lower-volume users.

We have enjoyed our partnership with Allen and Madison counties and wish them nothing but the best in their future endeavors.

Stay tuned for more announcements as we continue to add more county information providers to our services!

Edgewood Town Court Records Now Available on Doxpop

Doxpop is pleased to announce the addition of Edgewood Town Courts as the newest local government information provider in the Doxpop community. Edgewood records can be found by searching for court records in Madison County, Indiana. Edgewood Town Court joins two other municipal courts from Madison County--Anderson and Pendleton.

Doxpop would like to offer a very special thank you to Debbie in the court office for her patient work with our technical staff. Edgewood records beginning in 1995 are available via Doxpop. Stay tuned for more county data sources expected to join our service in the near future.

Madison and Allen County Information Removed From Doxpop

Two counties and a municipal court that formerly worked with Doxpop have recently moved to the Odyssey system run by the Indiana State Judiciary rather than the local court system.

Because the State Court Administration has refused our request to provide regular access to public court information, we will be removing these courts from our system the week of January 31, 2011. They include the courts of Madison and Allen Counties and the Gas City municipal court.

If you would like to see these courts return to Doxpop, please let your state legislators know of the problems we are encountering in our mission to provide access to public information for professional users. Your voice is important.

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

Madison County, Indiana Switches to New Case Management System

The Madison County Courts have switched to a new Case Management system. This affects the availability of Madison County information on Doxpop. It does not affect cases in Pendleton or Anderson city courts.

As of Monday, October 11th, all cases filed in Madison Circuit and Superior Courts have been transferred to the Odyssey system of the Indiana Supreme Court. That means that updates for these cases will no longer be received by Doxpop. Existing case information on Doxpop from before that date continues to be available and searchable until further notice.

You can search for new cases and updates to existing cases filed in the Madison Circuit and Superior Courts on the state court administration web site: http://mycase.in.gov/default.aspx

Feel free to give us a call or email if you have any questions. ( support@doxpop.com or 866-369-7671 )

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

The information available for Pendleton Municipal Court includes all court cases filed beginning in January 2004. Tax warrants and foreign judgments are only available in county courts, and therefore are not available in Pendleton Town Court records.

Additional thanks to all of the folks at Boyce/Key-Court software for their willingness to try out new ideas to serve their customers better.
