| (a) Electronic Document Repository. The case records
for ALR proceedings at SOAH are available online through re:SearchTX,
an electronic court records system approved by the Texas Supreme Court.
This system serves as an official repository for SOAH case records.
(b) Accuracy and Completeness of Records. The electronic
records available through re:SearchTX are automatically updated with
the filing or issuance of any new documents in the ALR proceeding
through eFile Texas. Case records available through re:SearchTX may
be relied upon in the same manner as an original or certified copy.
The repository includes file stamped copies of all current case records,
but does not necessarily include:
(1) The electronic recording of the hearing;
(2) Evidentiary exhibits in the form of audio or video
recordings; and
(3) The written transcript of the hearing, if any.
(c) Access to Records. Users of re:SearchTX must establish
an eFile Texas account or a re:SearchTX account. Access to ALR case
records is determined by the security role assigned to the individual
within eFile Texas for the particular case. To access ALR case records
at SOAH through re:SearchTX, users must be properly designated within
the eFile Texas system as one of the following:
(1) A defendant who has used eFile Texas to file at
least one document in the case and is listed as a party to the case;
(2) Lead counsel for the case, with a Texas state bar
number that is electronically linked with the case in eFile Texas;
or
(3) A member of lead counsel's eFile Texas firm profile,
where lead counsel's Texas state bar number is electronically linked
with the case in eFile Texas.
(d) Attorney use of re:SearchTX. Attorneys shall establish
access to re:SearchTX, and are expected to obtain and maintain a sufficient
level of technical competency to monitor case activity and obtain
their own case records through the use of eFileTexas and re:SearchTX
for the ALR cases in which they are authorized to appear.
