What ProDoc eFiling is
ProDoc eFiling is a web service for submitting filings and electronic service through the Texas state eFiling system. It supports initial submissions and later filings in existing cases, retrieving case details by jurisdiction and number when available. Microsoft Word files are converted into searchable PDFs, while drafts and reusable case or party templates help continue unfinished work. Coverage includes Texas civil, family, probate, and some criminal courts. Users can track filing status, receive rejection alerts, and submit bulk filings. The service also handles citations, process-server copies, jury demands, and eService; eService-only transactions have no charge. The listed plan costs $3, paid once, billed per eFiling, with no monthly fee or long-term contract. An 8.25% sales tax applies to the service fee, and court, county, or state charges may also apply. Submissions are limited to 35 MB, so larger filings must be split.
