| Description: |
Percent of emails processed within 72 hours of receipt is a representation of the amount of time it takes a Court Clerk to respond to an email received from a customer via the Court@austintexas.gov email address.
72 hours of receipt is defined as normal business hours, generally Monday through Friday between 8am and 5pm. Normal business hours excludes weekends and holidays.
If a customer sends a subsequent reply after receiving a response, that email as treated as a new email in the calculation.
At this time, the response time is only calculated for emails relating to a court case record, which account for most of the email requests we receive.
This measure is important as it allows us to allocate appropriate resources to this function as well as assess demand for service via email compared to demand for service via other means (in person, by phone, via web, physical mail). |
