Find My Trial fills itself only with an authorized feed from Bexar County. Until then, each post links to the docket for a member to check.

 

The Posting Rule

Share only what is on the public docket: court, cause number, judge and trial days. Client names, facts and strategy stay out (Texas Disciplinary Rule 1.05; Texas Ethics Opinion 673; ABA Formal Opinion 511; Rule 3.07 on trial publicity). SACDLA never reads or copies the county portal; each member checks their own post.
