Bill > HB3765

This bill modifies the fee structure for document copies provided by district clerks in Texas, specifically removing previous provisions that allowed different pricing for electronic document copies. Under the revised law, district clerks will now charge a flat rate of $1 per page for both paper documents converted to electronic format and certified copies, eliminating the previous tiered pricing system that had different rates for electronic documents based on page length. The changes standardize document reproduction fees, removing the previous distinctions between paper and electronic formats. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, which gives government offices and clerks time to update their fee schedules and systems. By simplifying the fee structure, the bill aims to create a more straightforward and consistent approach to charging for document reproduction services across district clerk offices in Texas.
