Rep. Todd Hunter
Under legislation introduced by Rep. Todd Hunter (R-Corpus Christi), an additional $15 filing fee would be imposed on civil litigants and appeals to finance the statewide electronic filing system fund. HB 2302 also adds a $5 fee for justice courts and for court costs payable on conviction for any criminal offense. The purpose of the fund is to support a statewide electronic filing technology project for state courts, provide grants to counties to implement the project, and support court technology projects that have a statewide impact.
