Summary
The Texas Supreme Court has authority under Government Code section 74.024 to order county and district clerks to integrate their case management systems with re:SearchTX, the Court’s approved electronic filing system. The Court’s order is also within the scope of the judicial power to implement rules for efficient and uniform administration of the various courts; thus, it does not violate the separation of powers between the judicial and legislative branches.
