Civil Case Information Sheet PDF Details

The Civil Case Information Sheet is a mandatory filing document in Texas courts that covers new civil lawsuits, family law proceedings, probate cases, and mental health matters. It also applies to post-judgment petitions for modification and motions for enforcement in family law cases. Courts use the information strictly for statistical and administrative purposes.

Information required on the form

• Name, address, and State Bar number of the filing attorney (or contact details if pro se)
• Full legal names of all plaintiffs and defendants in the case
• Category of lawsuit: contract, tort, property, family law, probate, mental health, or other civil matter
• Nature of remedies sought: monetary damages only, non-monetary relief only, or both types of relief
• Whether an emergency protective order or temporary restraining order is requested

The form is used in Dallas County courts, Tarrant County courts, Travis County courts, and other Texas district courts statewide. It must be submitted at the time of the initial petition, complaint, or motion. A new sheet is also required with any post-judgment modification filing.
