Brazos County Courthouse Docket Scroller

Brazos County Courthouse replaced its bulletin board of daily-posted, mismatched format, printed paper court dockets with a sleek series of eight 24" color LCD monitors showing self-running, electronically scrolling court dockets. This project was developed by BCSWebstudio owner Bronius Motekaitis while in his capacity as Webmaster of Brazos County from 2005-2007. This work is owned by Brazos County. He designed the interface which several others deployed to hardware and mounted on the wall.

It was an exciting team effort, and it has been in use since its deployment in 2006.

Bronius Motekaitis, then Brazos County webmaster, was tasked with devising a series of flat panels showing court hearing schedules analogous to flight arrival/departure schedules at major airports.

The "docket scroller" sits atop a simple DHTML interface running in Firefox in fullscreen "kiosk mode" atop Linux. Each row of four monitors is driven by a desktop PC with two dual-port video cards apiece. In a unique technological solution, I created an automated script to step through the legacy judicial management software, issuing the commands as if it were a human user producing a report of dockets. The flat data reports are then transformed into XML and loaded into the displays.

Six of the screens contain individual court dockets. The two screens on the right play self-running Flash animated tutorials in English and Spanish.
