The Texas Order Regarding Employment of Attorney is a document used in Texas courts to approve the employment of an attorney. This order outlines the attorney's duties, the type of compensation they will receive, and the terms of the agreement. It is typically signed by the court, the attorney, and the party hiring the attorney. There are two types of Texas Order Regarding Employment of Attorney: one for criminal cases and one for civil cases. The criminal order specifies the attorney's duties, the scope of their representation, the fees and any other expenses associated with the case, and the terms of payment. The civil order includes the same information, but also includes the terms of the attorney's engagement, their duties, and a description of the case. Both orders must be filed with the court before the attorney can begin their work.
