Figure out Texas probate
They never accept the e-filings. They always reject for reasons that are not required by any other counties in the area. We have never have problems with any other county accepting pleadings until we came to Liberty county.
We have efiled into over 10 different counties in Texas. This district clerk's office is the only one who has ever rejected our documents. They are the only clerk's office who requires 2 courts to be put in the style of the case if it has been transferred and continues to reject the document if it is not efiled with 2 courts listed. They also rejected our documents for not including a cover letter. I have previously worked for a district clerk's offce and a court and there are no TRCP rules requiring cover letters. So i began following their requirements and attaching a cover letter. The documents were still rejected. They continue to reject documents for things that are not required by any other contiguous counties. After telling me that a cover letter is required, another employee told me they were not required. Misinformation on every hand and every clerk tells you something different.
They will find a way to get more money from you, the pay by phone system is set to delay your payments for a week or two so your payments will be late and then they will add another 360 as a failure to appear. Courts are criminal they steal from us legally if you don't pay them they break your stuff and then you still have to pay them, isn't that how the Mafia works.
