The Texas e-Filing Model

Several factors helped shape the Texas eFiling model. First were some key statues. The Texas legislature established the Supreme Court's fifteen member Judicial Committee on Information Technology (JCIT) as a leader in defining the eFiling model for Texas. The Texas legislature also created Texas,gov as the official government portal for the State and requires that state agencies use the portal for their e-government services.

Lessons learned from earlier eFiling efforts in Jefferson and Montgomery counties in Texas and in other states also helped shape the model. Finally, the rules for the initial efiling pilot in Texas were largely influenced by the atttitude of filers. Their concerns, fears and doubts had to be incorporated into the model if eFiling was to be successful. For those interested in learning more about the Texas Model, see Electronic Court Filing: The Texas Model.

Electronic Court Filing: The Texas Model

Components of the Texas Model

In the Texas Model, Texas.gov serves as the court's Electronic File Manager (EFM). Commercial vendors act as the Electronic Filing Service Providers (EFSP) who must be certified as meeting the technical standards established by Texas.gov and JCIT. JCIT's strategy and intent was for the service provider market to be open and competitive. EFSPs are free to set their services at any price the filers will pay.

There are currently three price components in the total cost to an eFiler:

Texas.gov Transaction Fee

$4.00
County Convenience Fee

$2.00
Service Provider Fee (Varies)
$2.00 - $10.00

Total Cost per Filing
$8.00 - $16.00
