Reviewer note: Own-site document (text layer, 4,051 chars) read in full 2026-09-06; fee table and payment rules quoted verbatim (constable fees reflect the Commissioners Court's Jan. 1, 2026 increase to $90/$180 noted on the Precinct 2 page). Composed benchpath-ajr8-tarrant (own-site lane).
G-2026-045-SC required anyone using generative AI to disclose it on the face of the filing and add a scripted certification, on pain of striking, denial of relief or monetary penalties. Rule 2.515(d)(2) and AOSC26-12 preempted it on June 15, 2026, so it could not be enforced — and by August 16, 2026 the Seventh Circuit had removed the order from its published register (no rescission instrument appears there). BenchPath holds the hashed capture as the historical record.
