Texas > Fannin County > Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1 Place 1 (Judge Louise Goodwater, Bonham) — in-person trials. The bench-exchange sentence records the county-wide JP arrangement (any Fannin justice may sit for any other). Posted in the county's Justice-of-the-Peace document tree under the JP1 folder; JP Precincts 2 and 3 post filing packets and self-help materials without a parallel rules sheet.
Reviewer note: Text-layer document transcribed verbatim (219,123 B), fetched from the county's Justice of the Peace page tree (the crawler missed the tree's server-rendered links; a targeted pass captured all 57 JP documents — packets, petitions, and self-help forms are records, and the thrice-posted "rules of practice in justice courts" PDF is the statewide TRCP Part V text, classified HOSTS-STATEWIDE-DOC). Composed benchpath-ajr1-p7.
