Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-19 (AJR-10 Tenth Region build) from BenchPath custody sources/registered/1011.pdf (application/pdf, 90962 bytes, sha256 8eac92778ae40d4d28a79126da63856adc5c0dc09a095e8c3761f046f400fd97; 3 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. Three-page scanned PDF (one order per page) with an OCR layer; typed from the rendered pages. The three orders print the same text apart from the designating judge, the order of the two other courts and the signature date (the 369th's is written "5 January 2023").

The 278th's order is signed by the judge sitting in 2023; the designations run to offices, not persons; no judge join. TOPICs 2889 is the 278th's earlier copy of the same designation (signed March 23, 2022).

The county's own website also still posts an earlier edition: https://www.co.leon.tx.us/upload/page/4921/STANDING%20ORDER%20BAIL-%20DAVIS.pdf (the 369th District Court's earlier designation, signed March 18, 2022 by Judge C.
