Subscriber Access on the Internet

The Harris County District Clerk, Harris County Sheriff and Justice Information Management System (JIMS) cooperate to provide the Harris County Subscriber Access Criminal and Civil Programs on the Internet.

Logon procedure

The first thing that users will notice is that it is much easier to logon to JIMS. The only codes needed to logon are the user’s personal ID and password.

Navigation

Users will also appreciate how easy it is to maneuver through search screens and detail screens. Instead of entering JIMS commands and using PF keys to move from screen to screen, Web users can point their mouse and click to get the information they want. Hyperlinks at the top of each page make it easy to navigate to each search type.

Printing

Printing from a Web browser is much easier than the current method of cutting and pasting text from the Internet window into a word processor. Internet Explorer has a "print" button that you can click to print the current page.

Help

Online help is another advantage to the Web interface. Field names with hyperlinks open context sensitive help windows. The "Help" and "FAQ" (frequently asked questions) links at the top of each page provide an abundance of relevant information to users. Also, where possible, JIMS codes have been replaced with literal definitions.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact the Subscriber Access Coordinator at 713-755-7815 or via e-mail.
