Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-19 (AJR-10 Tenth Region build) from BenchPath custody sources/registered/144.pdf (application/pdf, 750666 bytes, sha256 1447e779ed0449653d57a2c078dd23963b28fb80597766e9ff634ad8d1aa7ba5; 1 pages) - the TOPICs-registered document: transcribed by eye from the rendered pages of the scanned PDF (no text layer in the file was relied on), machine OCR draft corrected page by page; signature and file-stamp blocks bracketed. One-page image-only PDF typed from the rendered page; the file stamp lies diagonally across the end of the title and the first paragraph; the words under it ("with criminal", "following", "Procedure") were read under magnification, and the punctuation after "Procedure" lies under the stamp and is read as a comma. The county site's copy is a second scan of the same stamped paper. The body cites "Article 17.027(1)(B)" while the title cites "Art. 17.027(a)(1)"; both as printed. Class ruling (plan A2): an order designating which courts magistrate and set bail for a class of defendants is procedure - a rule. Multi-county instrument (plan A1): sibling rows carry it to Franklin, Rains and Delta Counties. It names the sitting judge of the 8th.
