Attorneys who are appointed to provide representation in adult criminal and juvenile delinquency cases are required to report the percentage of their practice time dedicated to work on those appointed cases (Article 26.04(j), Code of Criminal Procedure). Similarly, attorneys who provide appointed representation of children and/or parents in cases involving the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) must also report the percentage of their practice time devoted to that work (Section 107.0042, Family Code). Reports are due by October 15th. The report covers attorneys' work in the prior fiscal year (October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026).
To submit your attorney report, please visit this link: https://tidc.it.tamu.edu/attorney-practice-time. The online report is short and reflects each county in which attorneys practiced, and the percentage of their practice time spent on appointed criminal, juvenile, and family protection cases during the last year.
Detailed reporting instructions are available here. You can also watch a short video demonstrating how to enter your practice time report here.
