The Hood County District Clerk's electronic-filing rule for the 355th District Court: when e-filing began and the mandate that subsequent criminal filings be e-filed.
Applies to e-filing in the 355th District Court of Hood County (civil, family and subsequent criminal filings) through the District Clerk.
The Hood County District Clerk began accepting electronically filed documents in civil and family cases on October 29, 2014. Electronic filing is mandatory for subsequent (not new-case) criminal filings as of January 1, 2019. A filer uses an Electronic Filing Service Provider (a comparison table and e-filing guides are provided), and one form is used when requesting an issuance to be completed by the Hood County District Clerk through e-filing.

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-06 from the county-site page (read in full). Court-scoped 355th e-filing rule (District Clerk); no judge join (clerk process). Hood's court DOCUMENTS live on a closed vendor host (documents-on-demand.com, robots Disallow: /) that BenchPath honored and did not fetch, so the own-site layer composes from the county pages only; the vendor-hosted CCL Local Rules RE Electronic Filing, JP forms/fee sheets and calendars stay uncaptured (owner-activation item).
Judge Costello's AI section simply restates amended Rule 2.515(d)(2) — the post-AOSC26-12 statewide standard — a compliance model, not a local mandate: signers certify cited authorities exist and are accurately cited, with the rule's own sanctions.
The strongest in-the-wild confirmation of the 2026 statewide AI rule: Judge Bantner's page expressly states his prior AI requirements are REMOVED because of the May 28, 2026 amendment of Rule 2.515 — signing a filing now itself certifies the authorities exist and are accurately cited.
