The Supreme Court relied on the Judicial Committee on Information Technology (JCIT) to develop policy recommendations and the Office of Court Administration (OCA) to procure and contract a vendor. Tyler Technologies was the selected vendor and they have created a new system called "eFileTexas" to administer the civil electronic filing for the State of Texas.
