Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-19 (AJR-10 Tenth Region build) from BenchPath custody sources/registered/1361.pdf (application/pdf, 1647525 bytes, sha256 5905519c4fb0d9bb862882cfb10cce1777e860a148b55b2fddfbb3303f620298; 4 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. Four-page scan read by eye; typed from the pages and diffed against an independent OCR pass (every difference an OCR-side error). The section headings carry no numerals on the instrument; the items are numbered 1.1-8.2. Kept as printed after a zoom check: 'Canceling, altering, or any manner affecting' (6.3), 'fees and expense' (7.2), 'only for purpose authorized' (7.4), 'settle their dispute amicably', 'alternative, dispute resolution methods'. The order states its effective date as January 13, 2012; the registered copy is file-stamped 2014 JUL 15 PM 3:26 (the clerk's lines of the stamp are illegible). Speckle over the words 'OF' and 'TEXAS' in the title is scan noise, not a strike-through. The registry lists the 276th District Court as a second issuer; the instrument is the 115th's alone. The same instrument governs Upshur County, which has no registration of its own: a sibling row carries it there.
