District & County Court-Level Reporting
Reporting Requirements
Section 72.083(b) of the Texas Government Code, added by HB 2384 (88th Legislature, Regular Session), requires the Office of Court Administration to annually collect and publish a report including performance measures for each district court, statutory county court, statutory probate court, and county court. All district, statutory, statutory probate, and county courts will be required to submit annual court level data for the completion of this annual report.
The report must include:
- The court's clearance rate;
- The average time a case is before the court from filing to disposition; and
- The age of the court's active pending caseload.
The reporting timeframe for this report is defined as September 1 through August 31. One report will be submitted for each court for the year.
Reports must be submitted on an annual basis to the Data and Research Division by November 1. The first report will cover data from March 1, 2024, through August 31, 2024.
