Administrative Orders

The Texas Supreme Court has begun an effort to post Administrative Orders to allow ready access by the public and lawyers across the state.

The Administrative Orders Available (see above) includes yearly listings of all orders from the miscellaneous docket which have been posted to the site since it commenced January 1, 2002. Administrative orders include orders for the publication and adoption of statewide rules; orders approving local rules; appointments to judicial boards, commissions, and task forces; attorney resignation orders; orders transferring appellate cases; judicial appointments to State Bar disciplinary actions; and other administrative orders.

Recently posted Administrative Orders are listed under the Recently Released link.

The administrative orders from 1990-2001 were collected and posted to this website through a joint initiative of the Supreme Court of Texas and the Office of Court Administration, made possible through a grant from the Texas Bar Foundation.
