Texas > Kaufman County > 86th District Court (Judge Casey Blair; Court Administrator Sunni Tilson) — all cases in the court, with the criminal-docket provisions for its criminal cases. This is the CURRENT edition posted on the court's live page; it extends and supersedes the Nov. 8, 2024 registered edition (TOPICs doc 2113, held as a superseded-edition record) with the new motion-setting, summary-judgment-submission, continuance, and Zoom-limitation provisions.
Reviewer note: Text-layer document transcribed with operative provisions verbatim (10 pages, 334,748 B), linked from the live 86th District Judge page (kaufmancounty.net/214).
