A few comments about the new and amended TRCP rules other than e-filing
Rule 502.1 & Rule 21(f)(2). Email addresses must be included on every one of your pleadings.
New Rule 21c. Privacy Protection for Filed Documents. Final Rule 21c had some changes from the draft rule that will significantly change how the Court handles some things:
If you haven’t read the new rule, do. It will affect how you do things, too. (There’s a link on the main page of the Texas Supreme Court’s website.)
The Court has signed a new Administrative Order Regarding the Filing of Annual and Final Accounts that mandates some new processes. The Order is attached (updated for 1/1/2014).
Heirship orders will no longer include birth dates of minor heirs. Your applications should not do so either (but do indicate that any minor is a minor). The Court’s new dependent administration general information form – which is not filed – now includes information about the birth dates of minor heirs (updated for 1/1/2014).
