Court Case Text Messaging Notifications is a free service (data charges may apply from your phone carrier) to provide text messages for scheduled hearings or for payment due reminders on a court case in Hillsborough County. Go to the text messaging notifications user guide for step-by-step instructions and then visit our HOVER site to sign up.

Anyone can request notifications with exceptions for certain protected case types as described in the Florida Courts security matrix [external website link]. For protected case types, only the attorney of record and the self-represented litigant are able to subscribe.

You can subscribe to text notifications for multiple court cases.

• If you reply “Stop” from your mobile phone you will be unsubscribed from all notifications.
• Opting out through our HOVER website will allow you to select the specific court case(s) that you no longer want to receive notifications for, and allow the other subscriptions to remain active.
• Regardless of whether you opt out or not, all subscriptions will expire 90 days after the last "trigger" event on the court case, even if the case is still open. A trigger event is a payment made to the case or the scheduling of a court hearing. In the event that 90 days have passed after the last trigger event, your subscription has expired and you still want to receive text notifications about that court case, you can re-subscribe to notifications via our HOVER site. 
  
  Additional enhancements are being worked on to include traffic school reminders, proof of compliance status, traffic ticket available to pay, payment receipts, changes to court case statuses.
