The Cooke County District Clerk's e-filing tips for the 235th District Court and the transition to re:SearchTX for electronic delivery of orders and notices in civil and family cases.
Applies to e-filing and electronic service in civil and family cases in the 235th District Court of Cooke County.

Per Supreme Court Misc. Docket 24-9030, individual electronic delivery of orders and notices in civil and family cases is through re:SearchTX; parties and attorneys of record must register and set notification preferences, and a party who fails to register and check the account will miss important dates and deadlines and will not receive personal e-mails.

Judge Costello's AI section simply restates amended Rule 2.515(d)(2) — the post-AOSC26-12 statewide standard — a compliance model, not a local mandate: signers certify cited authorities exist and are accurately cited, with the rule's own sanctions.
The strongest in-the-wild confirmation of the 2026 statewide AI rule: Judge Bantner's page expressly states his prior AI requirements are REMOVED because of the May 28, 2026 amendment of Rule 2.515 — signing a filing now itself certifies the authorities exist and are accurately cited.
