Standing Order Regarding Delinquent Tax Collection Cases Filed Under Texas Property Code Chapters 31-34 (274th Judicial District Court; Judge Gary Steel). To maximize judicial efficiency and economy, the Court finds that delinquent-tax collection cases filed under Chapters 31-34 of the Texas Property Tax Code in this Court are exempt from the mandatory disclosure requirements of Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 194 et seq. Rule 194.1(a) establishes a duty to disclose (except as exempted by Rule 194.2(d), agreed by the parties, or ordered by the court), and thereby establishes a method for courts to waive that requirement in specific circumstances. IT IS ORDERED that from the date executed until discontinued, all delinquent-tax collection lawsuits filed under Chapters 31-34 of the Texas Property Tax Code and assigned to this Court, and the parties therein, are exempt from the mandatory nature of the disclosure rules of TRCP 194 et seq.; the waiver extends only to the mandatory requirement, so a party duly served with a discovery request under those provisions remains fully obligated to timely answer, and the waiver may be discontinued at any time.
