Local Rules have been adopted in Texas to address the new method. The Local Rules are available in .pdf format below. Some of the major changes include:

• A unique user password and "signature" ID replaces the attorney's physical signature.  However, the Judicial Committee on Information Technology (JCIT) recommends that, for any filing that includes a verified pleading as either the lead document or an attachment, the filer also sign the lead document.  The filer can apply a “digitized signature” or a scanned wet signature.  
• The time stamp of the filing is captured when the filer submits an electronic document through their EFSP (not accepted, but filed).
• Only Civil case documents can be filed electronically, though exceptions have been made.
• Original Wills, Subpoenas, and Bonds cannot be eFiled.
• Documents must be converted to an acceptable court approved format (typically .pdf format – if needed, CFX does the conversion for you).
• You can eFile documents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• Documents that are filed after 5:00 p.m. are deemed served the next day.
