White Paper: Frequently Asked Questions |
The EFM Model provides a series of portals for transference of data and court fee payments. The EFM will retain documents for ten days following an acceptance or rejection decision rendered by the court. The model does not provide any type of online/offline retention or storage in which to archive files. The court could either continue to use the same archiving strategy currently in place for paper documents or independently contract with TexasOnline for archival or long-term retention functions. The county could elect to execute a separate retention contract but it would be beyond the scope of the Electronic Filing agreement.
