Dubuque County is participating in a pilot project letting residents receive text messages about court proceedings. The Iowa Judicial Branch announced that Dubuque County is among several counties participating in the project. Residents who choose to participate in the free project can receive message reminders about their upcoming court dates or payment plan due dates. Text message reminders will be sent seven days, three days and one day before a scheduled hearing, as well as five days and one day before a payment is due.
