The 423rd District Court’s standing order for every divorce and SAPCR heard in the court: no contested family case receives a final-hearing setting unless first set for a Rule 166 pretrial/status conference on the uncontested docket (to check parenting-class completion, exchange of sworn inventories and proposed property divisions, and ADR feasibility — waivable case-by-case); attorneys (or pro se parties) must file a Disposition Proposal (Local Rule 7.14) and Financial Information Statements/sworn inventories (Local Rule 7.16); and all contested family cases must attempt ADR (private mediator or the Frank G. Evans Dispute Resolution Services of Bastrop County) with a written certification filed before the final hearing — each requirement waivable case-by-case, and the court may reset a final hearing if the rules are not followed.
