Lyn
McClellan, Felony Trial Bureau Chief
The Felony Trial Bureau Chief supervises the staff for the twenty-two criminal district courts in Harris County, our Victim Witness Program and the Bond Forfeiture Division. In 2003 the felony trial courts disposed of over 35,000 felony cases.
The Victim Witness Program supplied the primary link between witnesses and witness advocacy groups and this office; they also assisted victims in their claims for compensation. |
