• For information concerning the Pretrial Diversion Program, you will need to contact Therese Chambers, Program Director, at (812) 349-2823.  If you have an appointment with her, or you need to pay your fees, then you will need to go to room 211 before coming into the Clerk's Office
   

• When a Court hearing date has been given, whether by receipt of citation, summons or directly from the Court, the Clerk's office cannot change your Court date, you have to speak directly with the Court where your case is pending, or with the duty Court for the week.
   

• Please keep all records of cause numbers, some people have more that one case.
   
• Bond money release for filed cases: the Clerk will release bond money provided the Court has issued an Order to do so.  If you have bond money coming back to you, you need to make sure the Clerk has your  current mailing address, if we sent the bond refund and it is returned to us for insufficient address, it will have to be transferred back into trust and eventually may be turned over to the state.
   
• Bond money release for no charges: You must get a letter from the Prosecutor stating that charges are not being filed and that your bond money can be released.  The Clerk must receive that money from the Sheriff's Department and have that money in trust one working business day (24 hours) before it can be released.
   
• Any overdue Court costs, whether you owe the entire amount or you have a balance will be assessed an additional $25.00 late fee.
