Tyler Technologies, Inc. announced an agreement valued at $98 million over five years with the Texas Office of Court Administration (OCA) to extend the use of Tyler’s eFileTexas™ electronic filing solution through August 2027. Tyler’s initial agreement with the Texas OCA is set to expire in August of 2022. The state was required to go back out to bid for its e-filing project and again selected Tyler to bring advanced electronic filing to the state through at least 2027, with an option to extend the terms through 2032. The eFileTexas solution will continue to serve all of Texas’ 254 counties for both criminal and non-criminal case types. This new project will bring a major set of enhancements to the eFileTexas solution, including self-service administrative tools and robust reporting capabilities for both program administrators and clerks at the local level. The clerk reporting will allow supervisors to better manage their office’s operations and make their processes more streamlined. Tyler has been working with the Texas OCA since it selected Tyler’s Odyssey File & Serve™ solution for electronic filing in 2012. In September 2015, the Texas OCA and Tyler worked together to successfully implement e-filing statewide for civil cases nine months ahead of schedule, which remains the largest e-filing implementation in the country. As a result of the successful project, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals chose to expand the scope of the e-filing initiative by mandating e-filing in criminal cases, which was completed in December 2019.
