All 254 Texas counties now use e-filing for all
case types
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced, along with the
Texas Office of Court Administration (OCA), Texas Supreme Court,
and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the successful
implementation of eFileTexas™ for criminal case types in the state
of Texas. As of January 1, 2020, both criminal and non-criminal
case types are now required to be filed electronically in all of
Texas’ 254 counties.
“The implementation of eFileTexas for criminal cases is a major
achievement,” said David Slayton, administrative director for the
Texas OCA. “The state of Texas’ court system is extremely complex,
and by making e-filing mandatory for all case types, we’re able to
streamline court document processing, bringing greater efficiency
to our staff and, in turn, to our constituents.”
The Texas OCA selected Tyler’s Odyssey® File & Serve
solution for electronic filing in 2012 to replace a system that
only serviced a limited number of counties in the state. In
September 2015, the Texas OCA and Tyler worked together to
successfully implement e-filing statewide for civil cases nine
months ahead of schedule, which remains the largest e-filing
implementation in the country. As a result of the successful
project, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals chose to expand the
scope of the e-filing initiative by mandating e-filing in criminal
cases.
Tyler’s eFileTexas solution provides a single solution for all
filing traffic outside of self-represented litigants and court
generated documents. Not only does the implementation mean the
elimination of paper documents for filing, it also provides
improved reporting and advanced metrics to court staff throughout
the state. For self-represented litigants, the eFileTexas self-help
solution guides citizens through the e-filing process, explaining
legal jargon and walking them through the legal process step by
step.
In addition to e-filing, Texas also uses re:Search®TX, an online
database that provides civil, family, and probate case information
securely across all of the state’s 254 counties. The tool allows
attorneys, justice partners, and other constituents to easily and
efficiently access important case records and documents at any
time. Combining this powerful tool with electronic filing
throughout the state enables a multi-faceted solution that assists
the court, state bar association, and citizens.
“Helping the state of Texas become paperless in its court
filings for all case types is an exciting accomplishment,” said
Terry Derrick, general manager of eSolutions for Tyler. “We’ve had
a strong partnership with the Texas OCA for several years and have
brought significant efficiencies to its court processes, helping
them improve access to justice and enhance their daily
operations.”
eFileTexas has more than 335,000 registered users and has
eliminated 316 million pages of paper since it was implemented in
2015. It is an open solution that is integrated with 23 other
vendors, including 14 different electronic filing service providers
(EFSPs) and nine court case management systems, and it drives
further efficiencies and paper savings through those systems.
