You will receive an automated reply from Twitter saying that you are “following nycourtsnotice” and inviting you to “join the conversation” on Twitter (you do not need to join).

A Twitter account is not required to sign up. Text messaging charges may apply.

Please Note: The UCS Twitter account does not accept messages.
