229th District Court (Jim Hogg County) — Plea Paperwork Protocol: State and defense responsibilities for plea packets, signatures and fingerprints

The 229th District Court's plea-paperwork protocol: the State e-mails defense counsel the documents needing the defendant's signature or fingerprints (admonishments, addendum, pleas of true, video-plea requests, appeal certifications, judgments, community-supervision conditions) and e-files the rest; defense counsel obtains the defendant's signatures and fingerprints — in custody or, for out-of-custody defendants, at the probation office the same or next day — and brings the documents to the court for signature.
