Law.com posted an article yesterday from the Texas Lawyer about a woman in Montgomery County, Texas, having filed a class-action lawsuit against that county's court and LexisNexis over their requirement that civil litigants use Lexis for all court filings.
Courts in several jurisdictions, including Butler and Cuyahoga Counties here in Ohio, outsource contracts for court filings according to the ABA, but San Antonio solo Robert L. Mays Jr., McPeters' attorney, says the district clerk returns unfiled any documents not filed through LexisNexis, according to the article. He maintains that the requirement that litigants use LexisNexis exclusively for the court filings violates the Texas Constitution's open courts provision.
