CCL No. 1's procedures for eviction appeals from the JP courts (the court that hears Ellis County's JP civil appeals): trial de novo — nothing from the JP trial carries up; the Texas Rules of Evidence apply and the official court reporter makes a record; entities must appear through counsel except the statutory multifamily nonpayment-of-rent exception, which requires a WRITTEN agent designation filed when the trial setting is requested; the case is set for trial within 21 days of docketing with the County Clerk; and if both parties fail to appear, the appeal is dismissed and bond/rent funds on deposit are paid to the property owner.
Texas > Ellis County > County Court at Law No. 1 — eviction appeals from the Ellis County JP courts (CCL No. 1 hears civil appeals from the JP and municipal courts under Court Rules of Administration § V.h). Issued as the court's litigant information letter; not legal advice, and the court recommends counsel.
Reviewer note: Text-layer document transcribed with operative provisions verbatim (sha256 0a4bf556…, 43,740 B), linked from the live County Court at Law No. 1 page as "Eviction Appeals From Justice Court." Composed benchpath-ajr1-p6.
G-2026-045-SC required anyone using generative AI to disclose it on the face of the filing and add a scripted certification, on pain of striking, denial of relief or monetary penalties. Rule 2.515(d)(2) and AOSC26-12 preempted it on June 15, 2026, so it could not be enforced — and by August 16, 2026 the Seventh Circuit had removed the order from its published register (no rescission instrument appears there). BenchPath holds the hashed capture as the historical record.
