Tyler and the Texas Office of Court
Administration reach significant e-filing milestone
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that Texas
courts filed their 20 millionth envelope through eFileTexas™, the
electronic filing solution provided by Tyler. The average envelope
consists of roughly 5.5 pages, meaning paper usage has been reduced
by as much as 100 million pieces of paper. This significant
milestone underscores the success the Texas Office of Court
Administration (OCA) and the Texas court system has had with
eFileTexas – which uses Tyler’s Odyssey File & Serve™
platform.
“The court system in Texas is extremely complex, and we’re
pleased eFileTexas has allowed us to simplify many of our
processes,” said David Slayton, administrative director, Texas
Office of Court Administration. “Reaching the milestone of 20
million e-filed envelopes filed and accepted is a major achievement
and speaks to the rapid adoption of eFileTexas.”
eFileTexas is a complex e-commerce solution that assists courts
in creating a paperless system, allowing Texas courts to operate
more efficiently and improving access to court information. In
addition to civil filing, eFileTexas includes criminal e-filing and
e-filing for self-represented litigants (SRLs) via eFileTexas
Self-Help. With Self-Help, SRLs are guided through the process of
filing court documents through an innovative, web-based program
based on Odyssey Guide & File™, which is part of the Odyssey
File & Serve platform.
eFileTexas has more than 200,000 registered users, and has
eliminated 100 million pages of paper – enough to save roughly
12,000 trees. eFileTexas is integrated with 14 different electronic
filing service providers (EFSPs) and nine court case management
systems, and drives further efficiencies and paper savings through
those systems.
“We are proud to have helped the OCA achieve its 20 millionth
envelope filing with eFileTexas,” said Bruce Graham, president of
Tyler’s Courts & Justice Division. “The OCA has set a standard
for other court systems by making their processes paperless,
improving access to justice, and increasing efficiency for the
entire court system in Texas.”
When the eFileTexas project began in January 2014, it became the
largest e-filing implementation in the country. It was successfully
rolled out within 12 months to 100 Texas counties and to all 254
counties nine months ahead of schedule and on budget. In 2017, the
OCA signed a $72 million contract extension to support eFileTexas
for four more years. This model is being replicated across the
country – most recently in Illinois where the AIOC successfully
deployed eFileIL on budget in less than one year to 87
counties.
Tyler has successfully implemented Odyssey hundreds of times
across the country. In all, Odyssey serves more than 900 counties
with a combined population of more than 120 million, comprising 40
percent of the U.S. population.
