DOCKETBUSTER
Press play · a Zoom court you can actually follow

You have a Zoom court date. Here's what's really happening.

This is a short, fictional Texas plea hearing, the kind that happens by video every day. Press play and listen. On the left, the transcript settles in sync. In the middle, the coach explains each step in plain English. On the right, it surfaces the real appellate law behind that step: the actual rule a Texas court would apply. Fictional people, real procedure, real cited cases.

Transcript: who's speaking

Press play to begin. The transcript highlights as the audio plays.

The coach: what this step means

Plain-English analysis appears as each step of the hearing arrives.

The law behind it: cited authority

A card appears when a step has controlling law behind it: a real case or statute, or nothing at all.

Fictional parties, real Texas procedure & real cited case law. Illustrative, not legal advice. The defendant and the cause number are invented; no real person is depicted. The steps of the hearing follow real Texas law (Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 26.13 admonishments, Art. 27.13 pleas, Art. 1.15 evidence, and Chapter 42A deferred adjudication), and every card names a real opinion or statute actually in our library, quoted for study. The voices are text-to-speech. DocketBuster is an education tool. It helps you understand a proceeding; it is not a lawyer and does not give advice in your real case. Verify every authority independently.

The audio is the clock

The transcript highlight, the middle-pane analysis, and every coach card fire off the recording's playhead. Seek anywhere and all three follow. Because each line was rendered as its own clip, the timing is measured, not estimated.

Captured once, replayed at $0

We ran the real retrieval brain and the citation gate over this hearing ONE time and committed the result. Every visitor replays that same capture. There's no live model call, so the demo costs nothing to serve.

It cites, or it stays quiet

Every card is a real hit above a confidence floor, with its quotation checked against the library. Where the appellate corpus has no strong authority for a step, the coach shows no card, because a weak card is worse than none.
