What should I wear to court?

For defendants who have attorneys, ordinary court appearances tend to primarily involve a lot of waiting around and little or no contact with the judge or prosecutor, so I recommend business casual for comfort.

When appearing in court for contested hearings and trial, a suit and tie or other suitable business attire is ideal. "Sunday best" is usually also fine.

Common questions about Austin court appearances:

• Do I have to appear in court?
• Where do I go for my court appearance?
• How can I check my court date?
