MEDIATION REQUEST INSTRUCTIONS

The Bexar County Dispute Resolution Center offers mediation, at no cost, for many civil conflicts

involving a person, organization, or business in Bexar County. If you feel that your dispute

is appropriate for mediation, please complete the forms as outlined below. Please contact an

Intake Coordinator at (210) 335-2128 if you have any questions.

If you bring the forms to the BCDRC, please allow 30 minutes for an intake interview. If you

mail, fax, or email the forms, the Dispute Resolution Center will contact you within two business

days to conduct the intake interview.

1. Fill out the Mediation Request Form completely and legibly, typing or using black or

blue ink. The addresses given should be mailing addresses – business address for

a business dispute and home (not work) address for a dispute with a private individual.

If the dispute concerns a rental property, please include the name and mailing address

of the owner or management company of that property, because local on-site

managers usually do not have settlement authority.

2. On the Information About Yourself Form, please complete the information as it relates

to you. Please circle only one answer for each category.

3. Please read the Waiver and Consent Form Completely. Initial the appropriate box

concerning pending legal action, then sign and date at the bottom of the page.

BCDRC personnel will review this document with you during the intake interview.

4. If you are requesting mediation regarding court-ordered child visitation or non-

payment of children's medical expenses, you must provide a copy of the court

order (Divorce Decree or Suit Establishing the Parent/Child Relationship) to the

BCDRC. No mediation will be scheduled until we receive a copy of the

applicable court order. Please send only a photocopy of the document. We do

not need the original or any supporting documentation. If there is no court order,

please indicate that on your request.

Mediations are typically scheduled at 6:00 p.m. (Central Time), Monday though Thursday. We

also schedule daytime mediations Monday through Friday, if necessary. If you are unavailable

particular days or times, please note this on the Mediation Request Form or advise us when

we interview you.
