After controversy arose over proposed pro se divorce forms, a lobbyist has asked the Texas Supreme Court to require two groups involved in drafting the forms to comply with open government laws. But both groups’ chairmen say they already allow people to attend their meetings and requiring compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act (TOMA) could create problems.
On Feb. 7, Texas Family Law Foundation lobbyist Steve Bresnen wrote to the high court on behalf of the foundation and the State Bar of Texas Family Law Section. He asked the justices to amend their administrative orders creating the Texas Access to Justice Commission (TAJC) and the Uniform Forms Task Force to require both groups to comply with open government laws.
