January 1, 2014 changes
A few comments for attorneys
What follows is a selective list of comments about changes effective January 1, 2014 given:
- the Texas Supreme Court’s Order Adopting Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 21c and Amending Texas Rules of Civil Procedure 4, 21, 21a, 45, 57, and 502
- mandatory electronic filing, and
- the new Estates Code
For complete details, obviously check the actual rules and the statutes. Also see the annotated codes and sources such as Bill Pargaman’s 2013 Texas Estate and Trust Legislative Update (available at snpalaw.com/resources). In addition, virtually every document on the Travis County Probate Court’s website is being updated. Most will be done before January 1, 2014. The remainder will be done in January.
