Where to file in Bexar County

Bexar County Courthouse, 100 Dolorosa St., San Antonio, TX 78205

Self-represented filers in Texas are exempt from mandatory e-filing and may file paper documents at the clerk's office. If you prefer to e-file, eFileTexas.gov is available. Fee waivers: if you cannot afford court costs, the Statement of Inability to Afford Court Costs is included in your SharpeSystem packet.

Bexar County — what you need to know

⚠️ Bexar County requires two documents attached to every new petition at filing: the Civil District Judge's Standing Order and the Civil Case Information Sheet. Both are included in your wizard filing package automatically.

The Standing Order takes effect immediately upon filing. Evidentiary hearings and temporary orders are docketed at 9:00 AM.

Many Bexar County forms are available in Spanish via TexasLawHelp and the District Clerk's office. If you prefer Spanish-language instructions, select that option in your wizard.

Note: Inventory & Appraisement is required only at trial if property or support is contested — not at initial filing.
