Regulations & Compliance

The Texas Rules of Civil Procedure set how fax service and filing work, with Rule 21a specifically covering service by fax. Attorney conduct sits under the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct administered by the State Bar of Texas. The Texas Office of Court Administration runs the statewide eFiling system, and individual courts may still accept fax for particular document types alongside it.
