LIT COMMENTARY
LIT analyzed all the District Judge’s web pages specific to their own court procedures.
Three out of 24 Judges in Conflict over Submission Rule (12.5%)
All judge’s comply with LR 3.3.3 with the exception of Judge Hawkins and there’s confusion over Judge Davis’s and Judge Morris’s status.
Judge Hawkins
11TH DISTRICT COURT PROCEDURES
1. HEARINGS
The 11th District Court conducts oral hearings on Mondays in the 11th District Court’s courtroom.
Hearings are conducted in person.
The Court does not have a submission docket.
All contested motions must be set for an in-person oral hearing.
Judge Davis
On her home page, in super bold it states:
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
Motion For Summary Judgments
1. All MSJs must be put on the MSJ submission docket.
2. The MSJ submission docket is only accessed via the District Clerk’s online E-hearing portal.
3. MSJ submission dockets are on Tuesdays.
4. No oral arguments for MSJs.
If you have any questions, please contact the District Clerk’s Office at 832-927-2270.
But, further down, bold and highlighted in yellow;
The 270th Court announces that we now offer e-hearings for the setting of ALL hearings except trial settings.
There is no submission docket for the 270th Court.
And to confuse matters more, since there is no effective date noted in these front page announcements…
Here’s a case set for submission in a Jan. 30, 2024 filing.
Judge Morris
There’s no mention of the submission docket on her court procedures (.pdf).
However, here’s a case where it was set for submission in a July 7, 2023 filing.
Tex. Gov.’t Code Adoption
When the majority of judges approve the Code, and then apply it to the local court rules, then it is clear that Judge’s own court “procedures” cannot overshadow the rule by rejecting it. Otherwise, the rule of orderliness is discretionary and that could not and should not stand.
As we have shown, at least one judge is clearly violating the LR (Hawkins), with two other’s who appear to be in conflict.
This should be resolved by Harris County immediately.
The Fifth Circuit has discussed this in length, pertaining to Dallas, but the same principles apply here.
“The District Judges have used their local rule setting authority, Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 74.093(c), to issue a bond schedule that in practice controls their subordinates. It is clear from both Plaintiffs’ complaint and from the district court’s fact-finding that the District Judges effectively ensure that their schedule is applied.”
and (discussing county rather than district judges, but ultimately it also applies to district judges);
So, they are county officials acting on behalf of the county—but are they also engaged in policymaking ?
Yes.
To be sure, most of the time and in most contexts, they are not; their primary job is to decide cases and controversies, a classic judicial function.
See Johnson v. Moore , 958 F.2d 92, 93–94 (5th Cir. 1992) ; see also, e.g., Adams v. Governor of Del. , 922 F.3d 166, 178–79 (3d Cir. 2019), rev’d on other grounds and vacated sub nom. Carney v. Adams , ––– U.S. ––––, 141 S. Ct. 493, 208 L.Ed.2d 305 (2020).
But the question here is conduct-specific.
The operative inquiry focuses on whether, as a practical matter, the judges act as policymakers in this particular context —not whether the judges act as policymakers for Dallas County “in some categorical, ‘all or nothing’ manner.”
McMillian , 520 U.S. at 785, 117 S.Ct. 1734.
The question is simply whether they set policy “in a particular area, or on a particular issue.” Id.
Thus, we need not “make a characterization … that will hold true for every type of official action the [judges] engage in”—we must simply determine whether the County Judges are county policymakers with respect to the specific conduct at issue in this case. Id.
With that framing, the specific conduct at issue here—setting a bond schedule for others to apply and then acquiescing in its rigid application—is policy-setting conduct that is not undertaken in the County Judges’ judicial capacity.
Judges typically act beyond their judicial capacities (and thereby can both act as policymakers and be directly enjoined under § 1983 ) whenever their conduct is untethered from any particular “controversy which must be adjudicated.”
Sup. Ct. of Va. v. Consumers Union of U.S., Inc. , 446 U.S. 719, 731, 100 S.Ct. 1967, 64 L.Ed.2d 641 (1980) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted); cf. Davis v. Tarrant Cnty. , 565 F.3d 214, 227 (5th Cir. 2009) (noting that acts taken in a judicial capacity do not create county liability).
Consistent with these principles, in Davis , we identified a four-factor test for determining whether conduct is judicial in nature, looking to whether the conduct at issue:
(1) is “a normal judicial function”;
(2) “occurred in the courtroom or appropriate adjunct spaces”;
(3) “centered around a case pending before the court”;
and
(4) “arose directly out of a visit to the judge[s] in [their] official capacity.”
565 F.3d at 222.
We have likewise identified that issuing general orders regarding how to process stages of litigation does not qualify as a judicial act.
Id. at 222 & n.3
(citing for that proposition Morrison v. Lipscomb , 877 F.2d 463, 465–66 (6th Cir. 1989) ).
Balancing the Davis factors, the County Judges were not engaged in judicial conduct here because they were merely directing other judges in a manner divorced from any given case.
First, it is indisputable that setting bail in a particular case is a normal judicial function in the abstract.
See Garza v. Morales , 923 S.W.2d 800, 803 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi, 1996, no writ).
But it is not a normal judicial function for the County Judges to set generic bail for the Magistrate Judges, who are the ones who generally set conditions of release in Dallas County’s bail system.
See Ex parte Clear , 573 S.W.2d 224, 229 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978) (en banc)
(noting that Magistrate Judges can have “[s]ole jurisdiction” over bail determinations in some circumstances).
Second, nothing indicates that the bond schedules were prepared by the County Judges in the Magistrate Judges’ chambers or any other “adjunct” spaces to the Magistrate Judges’ courtrooms. Davis , 565 F.3d at 222.
Perhaps most significant are the third and fourth factors: setting a generally applicable bond schedule is definitively not “centered around” any individual case and does not, as a consequence, result “directly out of a visit” to the County Judges in any sort of judicial capacity. Id.
Considering these factors, the County Judges are not acting in a judicial function in this context; they are setting policy on how others should process cases.
Daves v. Dall. Cnty., 22 F.4th 522, 563, 559-60 (5th Cir. 2022)
IN SUMMARY
Judge Hawkins and perhaps 2 other Harris County District Judges are acting outwith their judicial capacity by failing to follow LR 3.3.3, in violation of the rules, the rule of orderliness and the Constitution (inc. due process).
LIT notes that orderliness is usually an appellate standard, (Herczeg v. City of Dallas, No. 05-19-01023-CV, at *4 n.4 (Tex. App. Mar. 29, 2021) (“Under the rule of orderliness, panels of the court lack the ability to reverse each other. ”)) but it is equally applicable here, as the Gov’t Code in question specifically states that it is agreed and adopted by the majority of judges.
Court response pending….
Thank you for the expedient response.
I am aware that district judges enjoy somewhat liberal discretion, but I have reason to believe – in my humble pro se opinion – that this violates Tex. Gov’t Code as it oversteps the local rules, and thus, due process protections.
Could you please point me to the law if I am mistaken?
Good morning. Per Judge Hawkins, she does not have a submission docket.

Good morning
202386973 – BURKE, JOANNA vs. DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY (Court 011)
LOCAL RULES VERSUS COURT 011 PROCEDURES
I wonder if you could be of assistance.
I read this court’s local rule pertaining to motions, and in particular, LR 3.3.3.
This court’s own procedures at 1 conflicts with LR 3.3.3.
As such, I respectfully request the legal authority, statute and/or rules which would prevent me from setting a motion for submission, rather than in person.
This is a time sensitive request. I respectfully request a timely response.
Thank you.

Tex. Gov’t Code § 74.093
(a) The district and statutory county court judges in each county shall, by majority vote, adopt local rules of administration.
(b) The rules must provide for:
(1) assignment, docketing, transfer, and hearing of all cases, subject to jurisdictional limitations of the district courts and statutory county courts;
Daves v. Dall. Cnty., 22 F.4th 522, 563 (5th Cir. 2022)
“ The District Judges have used their local rule setting authority, Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 74.093(c), to issue a bond schedule that in practice controls their subordinates.
It is clear from both Plaintiffs’ complaint and from the district court’s fact-finding that the District Judges effectively ensure that their schedule is applied. ”
Tex. Gov’t Code § 74.093 (c)
The rules may provide for:
(1) the selection and authority of a presiding judge of the courts giving preference to a specified class of cases, such as civil, criminal, juvenile, or family law cases;
(2) other strategies for managing cases that require special judicial attention;
(3) a coordinated response for the transaction of essential judicial functions in the event of a disaster; and
(4) any other matter necessary to carry out this chapter or to improve the administration and management of the court system and its auxiliary services.
(c-1) The rules may provide for the establishment and maintenance of the lists required by Section 37.003, including the establishment and maintenance of more than one of a list required by that section that is categorized by the type of case, such as family law or probate law, and the person’s qualifications.
(d) Rules relating to the transfer of cases or proceedings shall not allow the transfer of cases from one court to another unless the cases are within the jurisdiction of the court to which it is transferred. When a case is transferred from one court to another as provided under this section, all processes, writs, bonds, recognizances, or other obligations issued from the transferring court are returnable to the court to which the case is transferred as if originally issued by that court.
B. District Judges
Much of the foregoing analysis concerning County Judges applies to the District Judges as well.
There is, though, a different constitutional section to consider.
It makes clear that district courts are part of a statewide system:
“The State shall be divided into judicial districts, with each district having one or more Judges as may be provided by law or by this Constitution.” TEX. CONST. art. V, § 7.
Additional relevant analysis was in the panel opinion in this case.
Daves , 984 F.3d at 397, vacated , 988 F.3d 834.
We do not see error in the panel’s discussion.
We summarize some of it here.
It is evident that the state district courts are one level of the state judicial system, with appeals in most cases to a state court of appeals and possible review by Texas’s Supreme Court or Court of Criminal Appeals. For an understanding of district courts, we quote the official Texas Judicial Branch website, which states:
The district courts are the trial courts of general jurisdiction of Texas. The geographical area served by each court is established by the Legislature, but each county must be served by at least one district court. In sparsely populated areas of the State, several counties may be served by a single district court, while an urban county may be served by many district courts.
About Texas Courts, District Courts, supra note 7.
Ten of the seventeen defendant District Judges are identified in the pleadings as judges of District Courts and seven as judges of Criminal District Courts.
Also relevant is our earlier holding that for purposes of appointing counsel for indigent criminal defendants, the state district court judges act for the State.
See Clanton v. Harris Cnty. , 893 F.2d 757, 758 (5th Cir. 1990).
We relied on a precedent which held that Texas district judges “are undeniably elected state officials.” Id. (quoting Clark v. Tarrant Cnty. , 798 F.2d 736, 744 (5th Cir. 1986) ).
We conclude that when these district judges made a bail schedule, they acted as officers of the state judicial system.
The federal district court, though, held that these judges were county officers.
The court relied on our earlier rulings about statutory county judges in Harris County and found no need to reason further about this additional category of judges.
See ODonnell I , 892 F.3d at 155–56.
We have already explained our disagreement with the ODonnell holding, and we reject applying similar reasoning to District Judges.
Because these District Judges acted for the State when addressing bail, we reverse the lower court’s contrary holding.

If not available to serve at any time during the term, the Ancillary Judge will designate, in writing, another judge to serve ad interim, and will notify the Administrative Judge of the Civil Trial Division, the ancillary clerk, and the county switchboard of that designation.
In the absence or unavailability of the Ancillary Judge or designee under the rule, matters requiring judicial attention will be presented to the Administrative Judge of the Civil Trial Division for ruling or assignment to another judge for ruling.

Written designation for vacation in months other than June, July, or August must be filed with the district clerk by February 1. Non-summer vacation weeks may not run consecutively for more than two weeks at a time.
