TOPICS · posting = effectiveness · absence is a finding
Texas local law
Texas local rules are centrally published. Under Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 10 (with TRCP 3a / TRAP 1.2), a local rule must be posted on OCA's TOPICS system to be effective — so the registry below is the universe of effective local rules, and a county with nothing posted has none by operation of law.

TRCP 3a + TRAP 1.2 + RJA 10 (eff. 2023-01-01): a local rule must be posted on TOPICS to be effective — absence from this registry is a reviewed no-effective-local-rule finding, not an unknown.
