Court-wide rules

Applies court-wide

Henderson County Courts at Law publishes its filing requirements at the court level rather than per judge, so these 3 rules are what govern this courtroom.

Formatting

All 2
  • Criminal and criminal-related civil cases must be numbered in filing order using the specified cause-number format and each court’s independent sequence.

  • Cause numbers follow the table’s format, using a case-type prefix, the last two digits of the filing calendar year, a four-digit sequential number beginning with 0001 each calendar year, and an assigned district court number.

Communication

All 1
  • Direct requests for immediate temporary restraining orders or other emergency relief to the judge of the court where the case is or will be filed; if that judge is unavailable, the request may be presented to another judge.
