Civil and family court filings in Travis County have remained relatively stable during the seven full calendar year period the Texas Office of Court Administration (OCA) started compiling data from district and county clerks in its current form: card.txcourts.gov/default.aspx. These graphs are captured from a website (www.CourtStatPack.com) we created to interactively display that data in easily customizable charts.

New civil and family filings are relatively stable over the OCA reporting period.

The composition of the civil docket is largely civil related to criminal and other civil cases, followed by consumer (debt). Divorce with and without children leads the family docket after Title IV-D.

Judgments on jury verdicts are flat over the OCA period but saw an increase until a 2017 correction. Family verdicts have been relatively consistent with a drop in 2015.

Half of judgments on jury verdicts are in motor vehicle cases with consumer cases accounting for another 21.1%. Most family verdicts are in CPS cases.

The summary judgment grant rate has declined modestly in civil cases. Summary judgments in family cases are rare.

More than half of all civil summary judgment dispositions are in debt (consumer) cases.
