We certainly do and the District Clerk very strongly supports mediation by trained mediators as a proven alternative to litigation. The Bexar County Dispute Resolution Center has been offering this sensible avenue for conflict resolution at no cost to individuals, businesses, and organizations in Bexar County since 1984. Mediation may be requested by either of the concerned parties if the matter is not already in litigation. If a court case has already been filed, you may contact the Center to see if your case can be ordered to mediation. The Bexar County Dispute Resolution Center is on the first floor of the Cadena-Reeves Justice Center, 300 Dolorosa, Suite 1102, San Antonio, TX 78205-3009. Hours of operation are Monday - Thursday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Center´s phone number is (210) 335-2128, their email shackard@bexar.org and their website is www.bexar.org/drc/. Through mediation, both parties in a conflict contribute to the solution rather than turning it over to the decision of an outside party -- and thanks to the pro bono services of local mediators, it´s FREE! The community and the courts benefit from mediation when valuable court time and taxpayer dollars are not tied up with matters that could be resolved by other means. We encourage you to explore mediation before filing a lawsuit.
