A civil case information sheet must be completed and submitted when an original petition or application is filed to initiate a new civil, family law, probate, or mental health case or when a post-judgment motion for modification or enforcement is filed in a family law case. The information should be the best available at the time of filing. If the original petition, application or post-judgment motion is e-filed, the case information sheet must not be the lead document.
This sheet, approved by the Texas Judicial Council, is intended to collect information that will be used for statistical purposes only. It neither replaces nor supplements the filings or service of pleading or other documents as required by law or rule. The sheet does not constitute a discovery request, response, or supplementation, and it is not admissible at trial.
In effect by state mandate, we will no longer accept case filings by mail, or at the window. It will be mandatory to e-file. We will also have a kiosk set up for your convenience to file on site.
