The Texas Supreme Court has mandated that all civil and probate cases must be filed electronically (e-file) January 1, 2016. As a result of this mandate, except in juvenile cases, attorneys will be required to electronically file (e-file) documents in civil or probate cases in Wood County. Unrepresented (pro se) parties and case participants who are not attorneys may e-file, but are not required to do so. In an effort to prepare for this new process, the Wood County Clerk’s Office began accepting e-filings for civil and probate cases on October 31, 2014, in advance of the mandate. In addition to providing early e-filing capabilities, the County Clerk has established requirements to support the e-filing process that coincide with the Supreme Court Rules. Beginning January 1, 2016 all civil and probate cases filed in Wood County, Texas will be viewed in digital form only.
