Local Rules, Forms, and Standards

The Office of Court Administration’s Local Rules, Forms, and Standing Orders website holds searchable local rules, forms, and standing orders. This website was created in response to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 3a, Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 1.2, and Texas Rule of Judicial Administration 10, which require (effective January 1, 2023) that courts post their local rules, forms, and standing orders to this website to be effective. All local rules, forms, and standing orders are uploaded by court clerks or court staff and will be viewable by the public, January 1, 2023.

Clerks and court staff may upload documents here: Sign in (txcourts.gov)
