Participating courts and clerks initiate the e-Filing Process by registering with the EFM. This requires submission of a TexasOnline Opportunity Proposal to the County Commissioner’s Court and submission of local e-Filing rules to the Supreme Court for approval. Once the proposal and rule requirements are satisfied, the TexasOnline EFM Administrator will provide the designated Clerk Administrators with authentication information, at the Clerk Administrator’s discretion, additional users within the court can get logon IDs and passwords. The Court will need to provide profile information consisting of applicable fees, rules, name and address of the Court, etc. which will enable the Electronic Filing Service Provider (EFSP) to enter the filings and the EFM to direct the filings to the appropriate Court.
