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.
