All documents must be filed at 2009 West Jefferson Avenue, Suite 300, Harlingen, Texas 78550. Pleadings must contain original signatures.
Parents with court hearings, whose young children are not in proceedings, are asked, if possible, to have a responsible adult wait with the children outside the courtroom.
