Local rule of Justice Court Four on turnover and receiver requests: the court that granted the judgment is the court of appropriate jurisdiction; relief under CPRC § 31.002 is discretionary; the court strongly prefers notice and an opportunity for the debtor to appear, and an ex parte request without evidence showing why it is necessary will be denied and set on notice; what an application must contain (the underlying judgment with an exhibit, a description of non-exempt property, evidence that the debtor has non-exempt property, the proposed receiver's identity, experience and resume, the compensation proposed, oath and bond); what a proposed order must recite (no turnover directly to the creditor, exempt property excluded, limited and clearly stated powers, termination 120 days after the order unless extended, no order beyond one year without a showing of essential necessity and none beyond five years, fees set conditionally and approved later, a nominal bond if any, the receiver's oath returned within 10 days, no disbursement without the debtor's written consent or court order, an inventory within 30 days of termination); receiver fees measured by services and results; nine powers that will not be granted absent special circumstances (for example opening mail, lockouts, collecting cash on hand, interrupting utilities, directing law enforcement, appointment as master in chancery, reaching exempt wages); enforcement by contempt as a last choice.

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-19 (AJR-10 Tenth Region build) from BenchPath custody sources/registered/2372.pdf (application/pdf, 802626 bytes, sha256 d800d3d38ad4ca996254d21ed00774e379432aac8172faf213952e9b750971bb; 22 pages) - the TOPICs-registered document: digital text layer normalised (whitespace, hyphenation, page furniture) and every page checked against the rendered PDF; signature and file-stamp blocks bracketed. Identical bytes posted on the county site: https://www.huntcounty.net/upload/page/0083/docs/JP 4 LOCAL_RULES_TURNOVER_RECEIVER.pdf. Twenty-two-page PDF with a digital text layer. Pages 1-10 are the court's rule: assembled from the layer by `compose2372.py`, with the word gaps that the layer drops at the ends of justified lines ('practicesand', 'Chapter64', 'isa' ...) recovered from the glyph geometry (`gaptext.py`), the character stream proved identical to the layer's, and every page compared with its render. Pages 11-22 are the 'EXAMPLE' the rule points to - a copy of a creditor's motion, cover letter, affidavits and proposed order as actually filed in a collection case in this court; it names private parties and is NOT reproduced (a bracketed note at the foot of the text says so). Printed as in the rule and kept: 'judgement' beside 'judgment'; 'Court Shall Enforce It's Decrees'; '(d) Address notice and opportunity for the creditor to appear' (the note beneath it speaks of the debtor); 'judicial constraint'; 'at the Receivers discretion'; 'these Justice Courts' in the plural throughout; the page-3 check-mark bullet is written as a dash.

Rankin as the sole sitting judge of the Justice of the Peace Precinct 4 Place 1 (Hunt County); operative court procedure, attribution by current seat.] [TRANSCRIBED BY EYE 2026-09-21 (corpus-0920 P12): every page of the registered file (sha256 d800d3d38ad4..., 22 page(s), digital layer that failed the machine checks; text taken from the layer and corrected word by word from the page) read against the rendered file; verbatim, source typos kept, stamps/signatures bracketed; the earlier abstract replaced by the full instrument; confidence high. benchpath-tx-corpus0920-p12-2026-09-21]
