Standing Order Concerning Disclosures entered April 13, 2021 for the Dallas County Tax Court docket of the Civil District Courts — signed "Carl Ginsberg, Former Judge of the 193rd Judicial District Court, Sitting by Assignment for the Civil District Courts of Dallas County As the Dallas County Tax Court Judge" (captured from the county's tax-court page): every delinquent ad valorem tax collection suit is exempted from the Rule 194 disclosure regime, restorable only by motion for leave.
Texas > Dallas County > the Civil District Courts' delinquent ad valorem tax docket (the Dallas County Tax Court, an assigned-judge docket unit — not an OCA statutory court)
Invoking the Court's Rule 194.1(a) discretion, the order FINDS "that the interests of justice and judicial economy are not served by requiring mandatory disclosures given the unique nature of ad valorem tax collection suits," and ORDERS: "all parties in cases filed in the District Courts of Dallas County to collect delinquent ad valorem taxes pursuant to Texas Tax Code Sections 31-34 are exempt from the otherwise required disclosures set forth in Tex. R. Civ. 194.1 ('Duty to Disclose; Production'), 194.2 ('Initial Disclosures'), 194.3 ('Testifying Expert Disclosures'), and 194.4 ('Pretrial Disclosures'). If a party desires to require another party to provide the aforementioned disclosures, such party must file a Motion for Leave to Request Disclosures and obtain a written Order permitting such."
Reviewer note: Own-site instrument composed verbatim from custody bytes. The signature block ITSELF settles the Tax Court adjudication: Carl Ginsberg, former 193rd judge, sitting by assignment as the Tax Court judge — the officer-layer entry now carries instrument-grade provenance; the rule is scoped division_family (the tax docket of the civil district courts) rather than to a courts row, since the Tax Court is not an OCA statutory court.
