Court-wide rules

Applies court-wide

Collin County Courts at Law publishes its filing requirements at the court level rather than per judge, so these 14 rules are what govern this courtroom.

Filing Requirements

All 4
  • Applies to
    Court filing
    Must include
    ai disclosure

    If an attorney or self-represented party uses AI to prepare any court filing, the filing must clearly disclose that use and certify that every citation to law or the record has been verified and is accurate.

  • Applies to
    Ai certification

    While the Court does not require the certification to be any specific language so long as it conforms to this standing order the Court does provide this sample that if used would be sufficient:

  • Applies to
    Video redaction notice

    The redaction notice must state the start and stop timestamps for each redaction and briefly explain its reason.

Service

All 4
  • For a jury trial, the defendant or defense attorney must send the desired videotape redactions in writing to the Assistant District Attorney and copy the Court.

  • Service
    Mail

    A notice sent by letter is presumed received three days after mailing.

  • An email or facsimile notice is presumed received on the day it is sent.

Filing Timing

All 3
  • The video-redaction notice must be sent within 10 days of the trial-setting notice.

  • The District Attorney's Office must make specific objections within 10 days of presumed receipt; otherwise, the requested redactions are considered ordered without further court action.

  • Failing to request a video redaction timely waives the objection.

Fees

All 2
  • Fee
    $60
    Applies to
    Alcohol detection device monitoring

    CSCD must collect a $60 monthly administrative fee from the ODL Petitioner, and failure to pay it timely results in revocation of the ODL.

  • Applies to
    Specimen testing

    The ODL Petitioner must pay any costs of specimen testing in addition to the monthly administrative fee.
