Signed: Betty Dills (Pct 1), Susan Rowley (Pct 2), Francisco Gutierrez (Pct 3) and Lance Cansino (Pct 4), Justices of the Peace, January 28, 2025. The Lubbock County website also still posts an earlier edition: https://www.lubbockcounty.gov/egov/documents/1639500318_42736.pdf (the December 2021 standing order signed by the justices of the peace then in office, superseded by the order of January 28, 2025 - read 2026-09-25); the text published here is the later one. The county's link calls it the order for "Debt Case Mediations"; the order itself is titled as above. The December 2021 order of the justices then in office is still posted too; it is receipted only.
