Opinion No. C- 10
Re: Docketing of cases in
the Probate Court of
Dear Mr. Crouch: Tarrant County.
Your request for an opinion reads as follows:
"This office has been asked to re-
quest an opinion from the Attorney General
concerning the following question:
"In view of the provisions of Art.
1970, Section 3, V.C.S. providing
for the county clerk to alternate
cases in the respective courts, is
the county clerk obliged to allow
clerks appointed by the respective
courts to interview patients prior
to receiving applications and assign-
ing them alternately to either the
Tarrant County Probate Court or the
County Court.
"In connection with the above question
it appears that Art. 1970, Section 15, V.0.3.
provides for a clerk to be appointed by the
Judge of the County Probate Court. It ap-
pears that no specific duties are assigned
such clerk. No such duties having been as-
signed such clerk the court has adopted a
practice of requiring such clerk appointed
by him to interview alleged mentally ill
persons prior to the processing of the ap-
plication and the assigning of said cases
alternately to the respective courts.-37--
