Submitted for:	Cesia Rodriguez	Submitted By:	Cesia Rodriguez
Department:	County Court At Law #2

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to enter into a 12 month (March 1, 2023 through February 29, 2024) zero cost subscription agreement (Document Q-05436858) with West Publishing Corporation for the use of CaseLines Limited Jurisdiction Cases for the digital exchange of proposed exhibits and online evidence; authorizing the County Judge to sign all relevant documents.

Issue: Webb County Court-at-Law II was selected by the Office of Court Administration as a pilot court for the Thomson Reuters CaseLines digital exchange of proposed exhibits and online evidence platform in Texas on May 2020. Once the pilot term ended the court entered into 12 month subscription agreements to continue the Court’s paperless procedures at a total cost of 3,750. The state through the Office of Court Administration is now selecting courts and offering a license at no cost to the county general fund.

Solution: Webb County Court-at-Law II is included in the state agreement with Thomson Reuters and seeks to enter into the zero cost 12 month agreement with the authorization of Commissioners Court and the signature of the County Judge on all relevant documents.

Result: Webb County Court-at-Law II will continue its paperless procedures at no cost to the Webb County General fund and to the Webb County taxpayer.
