A general order of the District Courts, County Courts at Law and County Court of Wichita County governing the format of media exhibits: accepted file formats, size limits, oversized-exhibit copies and text-searchable, OCR'd PDFs.
Applies to media and electronic exhibits offered in the Wichita County District Courts, County Courts at Law and County Court.
This General Order applies to all parties when seeking to introduce an audio, video, CD, DVD or other electronic media storage device. The sponsoring party must ensure the exhibit is in a format that may be uploaded and accepted by the appropriate Court of Appeals; electronic evidence must be submitted in one of the following formats: .avi, .wmv, .wav, .mpg, .mid, .asf, .mpeg, .mp1, .mp2, .mp3, .mp4, .m4v, .ogg, .oga, .ogv, .webm, and otherwise be converted to an acceptable format. Audio exhibits may not exceed 100 MB and video files may not exceed 5 GB per file; larger files are divided and labeled. Only the segments offered as an exhibit may be on the medium. Oversized or enlarged exhibits must be accompanied by 8-1/2-by-11-inch copies with a marked exhibit sticker, which the court reporter retains for the record on appeal, and the 8-1/2-by-11-inch copy becomes the official exhibit. Each computer file of a text document must be submitted in text-searchable PDF compatible with the latest Adobe Reader, not password-protected or encrypted, and all scanned exhibits made searchable using optical-character-recognition software. Signed October 7, 2019 by the judges of the 30th District Court, the County Courts at Law and the County Court (the 78th seat was vacant as of entry).

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-06 from the county-site scan (image-only, read in full via the vision lane). Court-less county-wide (mixed current/former signers — Barnard 89th and Gossom County Court are former — so no judge join). The 'Evidence Order' print (10132) is the same order (companion).
Judge Miller: exhibits for remote hearings must be premarked and physically delivered (U.S. mail or courthouse drop box) at least three business days out or they are not considered — e-mailed exhibits are refused, and evidentiary hearings are never remote.
2 verbatim requirements published by Palm Beach Division FC on exhibits.
