Tyler
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced an agreement with Travis
County, Texas, for Tyler's Modria® online dispute resolution
(ODR) software. Under the agreement, the Travis County Justice of the
Peace, Precinct Two, will use Modria to help residents resolve disputes
online.
Travis County is the first court in Texas to select Modria, allowing
parties involved in a lawsuit to engage directly with each other to
reach a resolution without coming to court. This will save residents and
the court time and money.
"We believe Tyler's Modria solution will not only facilitate quicker
resolution in legal disputes, but it will also create greater access to
justice for the many members of our community who cannot easily travel
to the courthouse," said Randall Slagle, Travis County Justice of the
Peace, Precinct Two. "Providing online dispute resolution is another way
our organization is working to ensure all members of our community have
access to a fair and impartial court system."
ODR creates opportunity for resolution without having the parties
physically come to the court; if parties can't solve their dispute
online, they still have the option to appear before a judge. Tyler's
Modria solution offers the workflows and communication tools necessary
to facilitate any kind of resolution, from simple debt disputes to
complex family and custody cases. Its intuitive user experience and
workflow tools are designed to resolve issues in a fast and efficient
manner, with a fair and transparent process for all participants.
"Travis County continues to be a leader in innovative approaches to
justice, and we're eager to begin implementing Tyler's Modria solution
for civil case types in Travis County," said Jamie Gillespie, general
manager of Tyler's Modria solution. "Modria successfully resolves
disputes, and it's great to see Travis County take a leadership role in
improving access to justice here in Texas."
Modria continues to gain momentum in courts across the country.
Williamson County, Texas, recently became the second Texas county to
adopt Modria. Fulton County, Georgia, also recently signed a Modria
contract for Small Claims and Landlord Tenant cases, and Clark County,
NV (Las Vegas), is up and running with Modria for creation of parenting
plans in Contested Divorces as of April.
Travis County is home to the Texas state capitol in Austin, and is the
fifth most populous county in Texas with a population of more than 1
million. Tyler also provides its Brazos™, SoftCode™
and Odyssey solutions® to Travis County.
