The Tamaulipas Judiciary has reported significant operational improvements during the first year of its new judicial system. Tania Gisela Contreras López, president of the judiciary, announced that the average time required to schedule hearings has been reduced from 70 days to 15 days. This efficiency gain is attributed to updated policies, new protocols, and the unification of criteria among judges to prevent postponements.

As part of the institutional review, the judiciary is preparing to present an annual report during the second half of September to detail management progress and results achieved under Contreras López’s leadership. While the magistrate expressed satisfaction with institutional advancements, specific data and figures will remain withheld until the official release to the public and the state legislature.

Expanding its community outreach, the judiciary will also deploy a mobile unit from the Public Center for Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms in Ciudad Victoria. From September 21 to 25, the unit will be stationed in the Lomas de Calamaco neighborhood to provide free legal services. This initiative seeks to offer residents peaceful methods for resolving civil, family, and community conflicts through dialogue, aiming to promote mutual agreements and restorative justice while avoiding prolonged judicial processes.
