Local Rules, Forms, and Standing Orders
Local Rules, Forms, and Standing Orders 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 that courts post their local rules, forms, and standing orders to this website to be effective.
Questions about the substance of a court’s local rule should be directed to the relevant court’s clerk.
Complaints that a local rule, form, or standing order conflicts with other laws or rules, is ineffective, or is unfair or unduly burdensome may be presented first in writing to the presiding judge of the administrative judicial region in which the court is located, then in writing to the Supreme Court of Texas at rulescomments@txcourts.gov.
