Rule 78a. Case Information Sheet

(a) Requirement. A civil case information sheet, in the form promulgated by the Supreme Court of Texas, must accompany the filing of:

(1) an original petition or application; and

(2) a post-judgment petition for modification or motion for enforcement in a case arising under the Family Code.

(b) Signature. The civil case information sheet must be signed by the attorney for the party filing the pleading or by the party.

(c) Enforcement. The court and clerk must take appropriate measures to enforce this rule. But the clerk may not reject a pleading because the pleading is not accompanied by a civil case information sheet.

(d) Limitation on Use. The civil case information sheet is for data collection for statistical and administrative purposes and does not affect any substantive right.

(e) Applicability. The civil case information sheet is not required in cases filed in justice courts or small-claims courts, or in cases arising under Title 3 of the Family Code.
