The Johnson County Clerk's local e-filing practices for the county courts: lead documents, exhibits, redaction of sensitive data, party and address requirements, and the sensitive-data notice.
Applies to e-filing in the Johnson County courts (civil, family, probate/guardianship and misdemeanor) through the County Clerk.
The Johnson County Clerk's local e-filing practices govern e-filing in the county courts. Each attachment must be a separate document; documents that require a file mark, proposed orders or documents requiring court action, and notices of hearing and correspondence are filed as separate lead documents; exhibits may be merged into the lead document or filed as an attachment. All numbers but the last four digits of sensitive data must be redacted (CPRC 30.014, Estates Code 256.052(a)/257.051(a)/301.052(a), TRCP 21c). Citation requests are under the filing code and copies under optional services; plaintiff and defendant addresses are required (CPRC 30.015); and all parties are listed on an original petition. A document that by statute must contain sensitive data is accepted if the filer designates it as containing sensitive data (or, if not e-filed, marks the first page 'NOTICE: THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS SENSITIVE DATA', TRCP 21c(d)); no document containing sensitive data is posted on the internet. Questions are directed to the appropriate department (Civil/Family, Probate/Guardianship, or Misdemeanor). Dated February 27, 2023.

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.
