Re: Texas Electronic Framework Standard Service Level Agreement
Gentlemen:
On April 24, 2007, the Supreme Court of Texas approved the Local E- Filing
Rules for the District Courts and County Courts at Law of Brazos County adopted by our
local judges on April 17, 2007. A complete copy of the approved rules is attached to this
letter. That completes the first step in the process to obtain the capability to electronically
file court documents with the District Clerk via internet.
The next step in this process is the Commissioners Court approval of a service
level agreement with Bearing Point, a copy of which is attached and entitled Texas
Electronic Framework Standard Service Level Agreement. This agreement defines
privacy, security, obligations, fees and notices associated with electronic filing services.
Further information on e- filing is available on the internet at
http://www.courts.state.tx.us/icit/Efiling/EfilingHome.asp.
On behalf of the District and County Court at Law Judges, it is requested that the
attached Texas Electronic Framework Standard Service Level Agreement be placed on
the next available Commissioners Court agenda for consideration and approval. I will be
happy to appear before the court to discuss this matter.
