North Texas Bench Book

The 2024 North Texas Bench Book features sections for judges in Denton, Ellis, Kaufman, Rockwall, and Tarrant Counties, in addition to Dallas and Collin Counties. This book will be especially helpful to new attorneys and those who have not practiced in a particular Court before, while also providing seasoned attorneys with updates on each Court's procedures.

This valuable resource is arranged by court divisions. Each section lists all judges with their address, floor, or suite number and phone number. A table of judges with names and pages on which the judge appears in the North Texas Bench Book is found after the table of contents. Local rules for civil courts appear at the front of the Dallas County Courts at Law — Civil section, which rules also apply to Dallas County Civil District Courts. Finally, an alphabetical index is included for easy access to information.

The answers to the questionnaires were provided by the individual judges and have not been substantively edited.

Also included in this new edition is updated information for Probate Court Checklists, Virtual Hearing Instructions and Guidelines as well as updated links to court websites, including the Supreme Court of Texas, Court of Criminal Appeals, Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and Dallas County and District Courts.
