Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-24 (AJR-7 Seventh Region build) from BenchPath custody sources/documents/5511f2ec73856b3b-standing-orders-of-the-child-protection-court-of-the-concho-valley-and.pdf (application/pdf, 4070887 bytes, sha256 5511f2ec73856b3b377f9a65790933a689df223da7a524321966eb5fea9fa617; 9 pages) - the TOPICs-registered document: transcribed from the rendered pages of the scanned PDF (the machine OCR layer was not relied on), every page read against the render; signature, seal and file-stamp blocks bracketed. Registered by the court for nine counties (TOPICs 2459-2467); the Mills County registration (TOPICs 2463) is receipted without a rule row because the orders name eight counties and OCA CARD lists Mills under the Child Protection Court of the Hill Country. The county's own website also still posts an earlier edition: https://www.tomgreencountytx.gov/upload/page/0166/docs/August2024StandingOrders.pdf (the Child Protection Court of the Concho Valley standing orders effective August 14, 2024, superseded by those effective July 22, 2025 - read 2026-09-25); the text published here is the later one.
