Standing order in every delinquent tax collection case in the 40th District Court (which holds all Ellis County tax delinquencies under the Court Rules of Administration): compliance with TRCP 194.1's automatic-disclosure requirements is WAIVED for taxing entities and their attorneys — the court found the compliance expense "greatly outweigh[s] any negligible benefit" and that everything needed to defend a Property Tax Code Subtitle E, Chapters 31–34 suit is in the pleadings and public records — but any party served with a party-initiated discovery request must still answer it fully under the TRCP.
