JP Precinct 4's procedure for discharging Class C fines and costs through jail-time credit: the court considers time served only on a WRITTEN request (mail or in person — no oral requests) after a plea or finding of guilt/no contest, supported by evidence of incarceration such as a book-in/book-out sheet; a granted request does NOT automatically release a driver's-license hold (an Omni fee may be required); if denied, written requests for alternatives such as community service will be considered. The posted packet includes the court's Defendant's Motion for Time Served form, which incorporates a guilty/no-contest plea and jury-trial waiver.
Texas > Ellis County > Justice of the Peace, Precinct 4/1 (Judge James "Butch" Bryant, Midlothian) — defendants seeking jail-credit discharge of Class C fines and costs.
Reviewer note: Text-layer document transcribed verbatim (2 pages, sha256 4740816a…, 50,299 B), on Judge Bryant's letterhead and linked from the county's courts vein. 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.
