A local administrative rule of the Johnson County District Courts directing the District Clerk to refuse a family pleading that omits the required notice or that styles the parties or children by initials only.
Applies to family-law pleadings filed with the Johnson County District Clerk for the 18th, 249th and 413th District Courts.
As Texas Family Code sections 102.008 and 105.006 require the full names of the parties and the name and date of birth of any minor children in family law pleadings, the District Clerk is ordered to refuse to accept for filing any pleading that does not contain the required notice and/or contains only the initials of the parties or the children in the style. This rule does not apply to the caption
Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-06 from the county-site scan (read via the vision lane). Court-less division_family (18th/249th/413th); judge-joined to Bosworth (named, the Local Administrative Judge and current 413th judge) since he issued it and still sits.
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.
