The Travis County Appointment Management Portal, or AMP, is an internet-based web application that provides active court appointed attorneys access to:

Any attorney that is active on the Travis County Courts rotation list of court appointed attorneys may use AMP.

While use of AMP is limited to attorneys that are active on the Travis County Courts court appointment rotation list, Travis County is working to provide comparable information access to non-court appointed attorneys. No additional information regarding future access is available at this time.

Access to AMP requires an internet connection and an internet web browser configured to support and use SSL 3.0.

AMP was designed with primary support for Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 8.0 and above. Other browsers such as Firefox, Chrome and Safari may also work, but have not been tested as rigorously as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

No. Within AMP, you may only access appointment and personal profile information that relates to you.

AMP was designed to ensure compliance with the standards and procedures set forth by the Travis County Criminal Courts as part of the Fair Defense Act Program. Those standards and procedures require appointed attorneys to make contact – in person or by videoconferencing – no later than five days of the assignment for misdemeanor appointments and no later than ten days of the assignment for felony appointments.

AMP calculates deadlines based on the standards and procedures set forth by the Travis County Criminal Courts as part of the Fair Defense Act Program. Based on those standards and procedures, court appointed attorneys must:

• Make a reasonable effort (letter, fax, phone, videoconferencing or personal visit) to contact a defendant by the end of the first working day after the date of the appointment.
• Acknowledge receipt of the appointment and provide confirmation of the effort to contact the defendant within 3 business days of receiving the appointment.
• For misdemeanor cases, visit the defendant (in person or through videoconferencing) no later than five days from notification of appointment and report that contact within 3 business days.
• For felony cases, visit the defendant (in person or through videoconferencing) no later than ten days from notification of appointment and report that contact within 3 business days.

Yes. AMP will now show an attorney all cases where the attorney is listed (by state bar number) as the attorney of record.
