eFileTexas is fully functional for all civil
cases filed throughout 977 district and county courts
The Texas Judiciary today announced that its new electronic
court filing system — eFileTexas™ — is live in all 254 Texas
counties more than nine months ahead of schedule. Already among the
most successful IT projects in Texas government history, eFileTexas
is the largest mandatory electronic court filing system in the U.S.
and is a model other states can follow.
In November 2012, the Texas Judiciary announced the plan to
develop and deploy eFileTexas in accordance with a Texas Supreme
Court mandate to create a uniform electronic filing system for all
civil cases in district courts, statutory county courts,
constitutional county courts and statutory probate courts. After
conducting a thorough and competitive bidding process, the project
to build and deploy the system was awarded to Plano-based Tyler
Technologies. eFileTexas was rolled out in a phased approach based
on county population, starting with the 10 largest Texas counties
going live by Jan. 1, 2014.
With the system completely operational in all applicable courts
across all Texas counties, more than 115,000 users from the legal
community are registered and trained on eFileTexas, and thousands
of court staff members use the system daily. Together those users
submit over 25,000 documents per day. Fully accessible 24 hours a
day, every day of the week from any Internet accessible location,
the system delivers increased transparency and court availability
to attorneys, litigants and court representatives, creating a more
efficient court system and use of staff time.
“Every branch of Texas government, particularly the Judiciary,
is committed to applying technology that enables everyone,
regardless of means, to access our justice system. With eFileTexas
operational statewide, our 21st century state now has a 21st
century Judiciary,” said Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan
Hecht. “Many people and entities played key roles in the success of
our e-filing project, which would not have happened without the
expertise of and partnership with Tyler Technologies. Together, we
launched a system that benefits everyone involved with the legal
process.”
eFileTexas creates more efficient and effective use of taxpayer
dollars through intuitive processes and procedures. By being
entirely electronic, the platform helps courts and the legal
community print 30 million fewer sheets of paper annually, create
greater document security in the event of a disaster, and reduce
mailing and storage costs. With solid support from county and court
officials across all 254 counties, attorneys, and relevant private
sector companies, eFileTexas simplifies access to public
information, providing all relevant court participants with
immediate access to necessary documentation.
Deploying eFileTexas involved many participants, including the
Texas Office of Court Administration and Judicial Committee on
Information Technology, which carefully guided the project and
provided clear direction to the courts in all 254 counties. The
Texas Legislature played a vital role by supporting the initiative
with necessary funding and legislation, and county and district
clerks assumed significant workloads without additional resources
during the transition to the new system.
“eFileTexas is a model of a well-managed government IT project.
The Texas Judiciary did an outstanding job implementing technology
that improves access to justice,” said Bruce Graham, president of
Tyler Technologies’ Courts & Justice Division. “Tyler is proud
to play a part in a project of such unprecedented scale and scope,
and we look forward to collaborating with the Judiciary on future
endeavors to further enhance efficiencies to Texas’ outstanding
judicial system.”
A press conference about this landmark project will be hosted by
Chief Justice Hecht on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. CT
in the Supreme Court Courtroom (Room #101) at the Supreme Court of
Texas Building, located at 201 W. 14th Street in Austin, Texas.
