Montgomery County Clerk / Courts at Law

RE: Request for judicial records under Rule of Judicial Administration 12

To the records custodian:

This is a request under Rule 12 of the Texas Rules of Judicial Administration.
I direct it to the court's records custodian because the Public Information Act
does not apply to the judiciary -- Gov't Code 552.0035 -- and Rule 12 is the
route for judicial records.

I request the following:

Written procedure for jury demands and trial settings in the County Courts
at Law, and any local rule on the timing of a jury request.

This asks for the court's ADMINISTRATIVE records. It does not ask for any case
file, any document filed in a case, or anything in a judge's adjudicative work.
Rule 12.5 lists what is exempt and I am not asking for any of it.

Rule 12.6 asks for a response within fourteen days, and Rule 12.9 provides that
a denial may be appealed to the Office of Court Administration. If the answer is
that no such written record exists, please say so in writing -- that answer is
itself informative and I will not treat it as a refusal.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
