Johnson County Courts at Law Filing Rules

The County Clerk must deliver printed copies with a copy of the Order in a sealed, specifically labeled envelope to the authorized persons.

The appointed Attorney Ad Litem must file an application for payment with verification of fees incurred, and the Clerk pays the deposit after judicial review and approval.

If the offering party is not present in court when physical evidence that cannot be digitized is offered, the party must tender it to the court no later than the next working day after the remote proceeding.

A testifying party or witness must be clearly seen, identified, and heard on camera; the Court will not allow testimony to proceed without an unobstructed view unless the witness complies with that requirement.

When practicable, digital copies of physical evidence that can be prepared should be emailed to the court coordinator, court reporter, and counsel before the hearing.

For each covered temporary guardianship application filed after the order's effective date, the filing attorney must pay a $750 deposit in addition to other filing fees.
