Williamson County's registered generative-AI rule (Local Rules of Court (2024), Rule I.J and Exhibit A): every attorney and self-represented litigant who uses any form of artificial intelligence for legal research or drafting must verify the AI-generated information before using it in a submission or proceeding and must sign and attach the Certificate Regarding Use of Artificial Intelligence to any filing where AI-generated information is used — certifying compliance with the court's standing order on AI, that all AI-created or AI-contributed content (language, quotations, sources, citations, arguments, legal analysis) was verified against traditional non-AI sources, and acknowledging sanctions exposure under the Disciplinary Rules, the Rules of Civil Procedure, CPRC chapter 10, the court's inherent power and contempt. Non-compliance may draw a show-cause order and sanctions. Applies in the District Courts and County Courts at Law of Williamson County.

Rule I.J, Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Court Filings: generative AI systems "are being incorporated into common professional use" but the technology "is currently unreliable and prone to bias, and often fabricates information," and its creators "are not attorneys of record … and are not bound by the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct." Because signing a pleading or motion certifies that each contention "is warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument," "all self-represented litigants and attorneys who utilize any form of artificial intelligence for legal research or drafting in connection with a case shall, before using any AI-generated information in a court submission or proceeding, ensure that such information is accurate and correctly portrayed to the court, and shall sign and submit the Certificate Regarding Use of Artificial Intelligence (Exhibit A) and attach it to any filing where AI-generated information is used." "Failure to comply with this Local Rule may result in an order to show cause and could subject a party to the court's inherent power to sanction parties for violation of rules, orders, standing orders, and statutory obligations." EXHIBIT A — Certification Regarding Use of Artificial Intelligence (captioned to the District Court or County Court at Law, Williamson County): the attorney or self-represented litigant certifies (1) "I reviewed and understand this Court's Standing Order Regarding Artificial Intelligence. I will comply with the Standing Order throughout this case"; (2) "All information created or contributed to by generative artificial intelligence — including language, quotations, sources, citations, arguments, and legal analysis — was before submission to this Court verified as accurate using traditional (non-AI) legal sources"; and (3) "I understand that I will be held responsible and subject to possible sanction under Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Ch. 10, and the inherent power of the Court, or for contempt of court, for failing to comply with the Court's Standing Order or this certification" — signed and dated by the attorney or litigant.
… all self-represented litigants and attorneys who utilize any form of artificial intelligence for legal research or drafting in connection with a case shall, before using any AI-generated information in a court submission or proceeding, ensure that such information is accurate and correctly portrayed to the court, and shall sign and submit the Certificate Regarding Use of Artificial Intelligence (Exhibit A) and attach it to any filing where AI-generated information is used.

Split out as a bundle member under the Tarrant Rule 5.33 precedent so the county's registered AI regime appears on /texas/ai-rules, which matches on title.
