The Grayson County Local Rules (effective Feb. 1, 2025), governing all Grayson County courts: the TRJA time standards (civil jury 18 months, nonjury 12; contested family 6 months, uncontested 3), conduct and decorum, continuance and conflict-setting rules, remote-hearing practice, and — as the headline — Rule 1.13 Regarding Use of Artificial Intelligence, the strongest AJR-1 AI regime: a signed certificate ATTACHED to every AI-generated pleading certifying human verification of all AI-created content against traditional legal sources, with sanctions exposure and an outright ban on AI use and recording/transcription devices in the courtroom and court offices; plus the civil-proceedings rules (uncontested docket, ex parte/TRO practice, pretrial/trial settings, mediation, DWOP, transfer/consolidation), court-appointed-counsel duties, and family-law rules.
Texas > Grayson County > all Grayson County courts (the 15th, 59th, and 397th District Courts; the constitutional County Court; County Courts at Law Nos. 1–2; and the Justice Courts) — the county's governing local rules; Rule 1.13 is the AI regime binding every pending and future case
TIME STANDARDS (Rule 10): criminal cases per statutory limits; "Civil Jury Cases - Within 18 months from the appearance date"; "Civil Nonjury Cases - Within 12 months"; contested family-law cases the later of 6 months from appearance or 6 months from the Family Code waiting period (excluding Chapter 262); uncontested family cases the later of 3 months or 3 months from the waiting period; juvenile cases per Chapter 54 requirements. RULE 1.13 — ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: "This Rule applies to every pending or hereafter-filed case in the Grayson County Courts," without relieving any legal or ethical obligation. Recognizing that generative AI "is currently unreliable and prone to bias, and often fabricates information" and that AI creators are not licensed attorneys bound by the disciplinary rules, the rule provides: "All self-represented parties and attorneys who utilize any form of artificial intelligence for legal research or drafting… shall, before using any AI-generated information in a Court submission or proceeding, sign and submit an attachment to each pleading generated using artificial intelligence, certifying that: 1. All language, quotations, sources, citations, arguments, and legal analysis created or contributed to by generative artificial intelligence were before submission verified as accurate through traditional (non-AI) legal sources, and 2. that the person understands and acknowledges that they are and will be held responsible, and potentially sanctioned, for their or their co-counsel's failure to comply." The rule supplies a sample certificate (the litigant reviewed and will comply with the AI rules; all AI-created content was human-verified against non-AI legal sources before submission; and the litigant accepts responsibility and possible sanctions under the Texas Disciplinary Rules, TRCP 10, the court's inherent power, or contempt). Finally: "All individuals entering the Courtroom or Court offices are prohibited from recording any of the activities, conversations, or other events… The use of artificial intelligence is prohibited in the Courtroom, or in Court offices," including AI or any device to record, listen to, or transcribe courtroom activity; violators may be sanctioned or ordered to show cause. CONDUCT (Rule 1.1): attorneys and self-represented litigants observe courtroom decorum and the Texas Lawyer's Creed. CONTINUANCES (1.2), CONFLICT SETTINGS (1.3), VACATION DESIGNATIONS (1.4), INTERPRETERS (1.5), WITHDRAWAL (1.6), PROPOSED ORDERS (1.7), EXHIBIT INSTRUCTIONS (1.8), REMOTE/VIRTUAL HEARINGS (1.9), PHONE HEARINGS (1.10), and inclement-weather closures (1.12) follow the rule's detailed terms. CIVIL PROCEEDINGS (Title 2): the uncontested docket (2.1), ex parte/TRO/attachment applications (2.2), pretrial and trial settings (2.3), mediation (2.4), orders and decrees (2.5), post-trial-pleading notice (2.6), dismissal for want of prosecution (2.7), trial settings (2.8), collateral attack (2.9), ancillary proceedings (2.10), consolidation (2.11), related cases (2.12), and case transfer / docket and bench exchange (2.13–2.14). CRIMINAL (Title 3): court-appointed-counsel duties (3.1) and ex parte felony motions (3.2). FAMILY LAW (Title 4): application of other rules (4.1), temporary hearings (4.2), and adoptions (4.3). GENERAL (Title 5): authority, citation, and severability.
