(a) Represented Parties. If a party is represented by counsel, a document filed on that party's behalf must be signed by at least one of the party's attorneys. For each attorney whose name appears on a document as representing that party, the document must contain that attorney's State Bar of Texas identification number, mailing address, telephone number, fax number, if any, and email address.
(b) Unrepresented Parties. A party not represented by counsel must sign any document that the party files and give the party’s mailing address, telephone number, fax number, if any, and email address.
(c) Electronic Signatures. A document that is electronically served, filed, or issued by a court or clerk is considered signed if the document includes:
-
(1) a “/s/” and name typed in the space where the signature would otherwise appear, unless the document is notarized or sworn; or
-
(2) an electronic image or scanned image of the signature.
