Protective Orders
As of June 1, there are now mandatory forms for protective orders with strict formatting and text requirements. TXdocs has replaced the following forms in the Family Law Library: 

• Application for Protective Order;
• Affidavit or Declaration;
• Temporary Ex Parte Protective Order; and
• Final Protective Order.

These are the same forms issued by the Office of Court Administration ("OCA"), but with additional optional text and automatic edits for attorneys who are filing on behalf of an applicant. Our Director of Content Development spoke with the OCA's Domestic Violence Training Attorney to ensure that the forms now available in TXdocs adhere to the new requirements and effectively achieve their intended purposes. 

Rights and Duties Chart
We've included in our software a new PDF to print out for your clients showing the allocation of rights and duties for JMCs. This can also be very useful during mediations and while working out agreements. You can assemble this chart with your case in chapter 12 of Longino's Family Law, or select the option to print the form for your client during assembly of temporary and final orders for divorce, SAPCR, and modification. You can also access this PDF here or below.

On May 30 we hosted a webinar on  Effective Time Tracking and Billing with TXdocs. This course taught attorneys and their staff how to effectively track and bill their time using TXdocsPlus. We covered how to create time slips and statements, as well as the settings you can use to tailor TXdocs to your practice. We also discussed reporting on billing, how to send statements by email, and how to work with IOLTA accounts.

Picture this: opposing counsel calls. You've been trying to connect with them all week. You hang up the phone, only to realize an hour later you need to speak with them on ANOTHER case. Now you have to get in touch with them all over again, when you could have just discussed all of the cases you share with them at once.

To avoid this, TXdocs allows TXdocsPlus users to quickly see all cases they share with an attorney. You can do this by going to the "Related Attorneys" tab in your Case Manager and then selecting "View Cases." This will generate a list of all of the cases you share with the opposing counsel of the selected case.

As a refresher, "FormZ" (pronounced "form-zee") is what TXdocs calls our proprietary software to track subscriber requests for new forms, fixes, or improvements.

According to Wolters Kluwer, 87% of attorneys say technology has improved their day-to-day work, but only 46% say they are actually leveraging it. Don't be like that other 54%! 

We all know that TXdocs helps law firms run more efficiently and produce clean forms which comply with current law, but there's probably a lot more to TXdocs than you know!
