White Paper: Frequently Asked Questions |
TexasOnline will provide, at no cost to the counties, a
standard data set based on XML to enable interfacing with their case and
document management systems. Additionally,
TexasOnline will provide the counties with a data dictionary for the standard
interface and provide knowledge transfer and assistance to the county's IT staff
and vendors responsible for implementing the standard interface.
The JCIT will establish and approve court-filing standards and all
interfaces will adhere to those standards.
The counties will provide specification input during the JCIT standards
development process.
Counties that do not have document management systems have the following options for file retention:
Print the files after acceptance and retain in a paper filing system. TexasOnline can provide printer specifications required to meet the basic needs of e-Filing. The specifications will vary depending upon the anticipated printing volume of the Court. The use of high resolution, laser printers should be anticipated.
Contract with a vendor that provides outsourced document management services. If this option is chosen, the county can maintain an electronic copy of the file in a network server but may have to use the outsourced service to produce certified copies.
Save the electronic files locally to a directory system.
