No judge-level deadline on record runs shorter than a statewide deadline with the same trigger. The sentinel compares quoted timing across every published rule scoped to this judge on each visit — a clean result today is re-earned tomorrow.
The 302nd District Court's docket rules and its bench-trial discovery-control-plan template: the weekly docket grid for both benches, AJ-report enforcement pending appeal (no contempt until the appeal resolves), Daubert challenges before pre-trial, the 30-day summary-judgment bar, the Rule 165a dismissal docket with in-person retention, the 24-hour temporary-hearing exhibit exchange, TRO-beyond-standing-order affidavit practice, written requested relief at every hearing, and the DCP template's fixed terms — the 3-hour-per-side bench-trial cap, the mediate-or-1-hour rule with the $3,000/8-hour court-appointed mediator cap, 10-day Daubert filing, 7-day exhibit stipulations and notebooks, and the child-interview waiver default.
The 302nd District Court's standard Pre-Trial Order (Hon. Sandra L. Jackson; 2022 update, captured from the court's own page): the family-docket pretrial regime with seven-day filing deadlines, the mediation and inventory obligations, the 30-day discovery close, and Rule 165a/215 enforcement.
No judge-scoped deadlines on this tab. Deadlines are extracted only when the source rule text states them — we never infer or calculate dates the rule does not explicitly contain. 9 rule deadlines apply in this courtroom across all layers — assembled with citations in the Full Premium Report.
Timing shown here is quoted from the rule text. Compute your actual date against the court's calendar and the rule itself — not legal advice.
No verified ruling summary yet. BenchPath generates ruling summaries from opinion and docket corpora (CourtListener where covered) and publishes them only after human review — fabricated judicial analytics are exactly what this platform refuses to ship.
The attributed-opinion corpus covers Florida appellate decisions today; a Texas opinion corpus is a separate build. Absence here is a coverage statement, never evidence about this judge.

Answer three quick questions. The platform pulls Sandra Lee Jackson's full public case-law record from the source, newest first — your matter never narrows the pull; it directs the relevance ranking and the dual-AI analysis. Every hit comes back Bluebook-cited with the opinion's own words quoted verbatim. The scan takes the time precision takes.
