Electronic Filing (Civil Filings Only)
Electronic Filing, a voluntary program, allows attorneys and citizens to file Small Claims, Evictions, Debt Claims, and many other types of Civil Filings electronically over the internet from the convenience of a home or office computer.
This solution greatly increases the efficiency of court operations and allows people to use a credit or debit card to pay for civil court costs. Once your eFiling is accepted by the clerk, you will receive a confirmation message and file-stamped copy via email. For more information or to register for eFiling, please visit http://efiletexas.gov/.
You may still file in person at our office or by regular mail.
