In statewide use for more than three decades, the Texas Family Law Practice Manual and its predecessors have demonstrated their value to every lawyer who practices any family law—in drafting forms, answering questions, and making family law practice more efficient.
Six loose-leaf volumes featuring 730 forms used in title 1, title 2, title 4, and title 5 proceedings are the basis for this practice manual. Marginal notes and clear, precise instructions for choosing among commonly occurring alternatives ensure the production of documents tailored to each individual case. The forms volumes include a comprehensive subject index and an alphabetical list of forms by title.
More than 1,210 pages of practice notes, published in a convenient softbound companion volume, provide synopses of the relevant law and helpful practical advice for the practitioner covering a wide range of family law topics. Access to the wealth of information contained in the practice notes is enhanced by a comprehensive subject index and an index of statutes, rules, and cases cited.
Improvements to the third edition of the manual include 41 additional forms and new chapters on the Military Duty of Conservator and Authorization Agreements for Nonparent Relatives.
The Texas Family Law Practice Manual Digital Product is included at no charge with purchase of the printed manual and may also be purchased separately. The digital product contains the full text of the Texas Family Law Practice Manual as two Adobe Acrobat PDF files that are internally hyperlinked and fully word-searchable to allow for easy, rapid navigation to topics of interest. All tables of contents, practice notes, cross-references, and indexes are linked to substantive text within the files. Also included are electronic versions of all the manual’s State Bar of Texas–copyrighted forms in Word and WordPerfect formats, as well as many forms from outside agencies as PDF files, all linked from the manual’s two main PDF files for quick retrieval. The digital product includes hyperlinked Texas and federal case and statutory citations and the complete Texas Family Code. Click the link in the practice notes to go straight to the case or statute you need in the free Casemaker Web Library, or search the complete Texas Family Code in PDF.
The new version of the digital product contains custom toolbars for both Word and WordPerfect forms that allow users to show, hide, print, and delete all instructional material. Other new features include prompts to facilitate completing the form.
