Possible Fees and/or costs:

Copying: The Court does not charge a fee to email copies of records if the records already exist in an electronic format. If you need paper copies or if the Court must create electronic copies of paper records, the Court may require that you first pay a fee equal to the direct costs of copying or producing the records before it sends them to you. Generally, the copying fee is 10 cents per page.

Mailing and records retrieval: The Court may also require advance payment of a fee to cover the direct cost of mailing records to you or retrieving records from a remote storage facility or archive. Commercial use fee: If the Court determines that records are requested for a commercial use, it may require advance payment of a fee to cover the actual costs of staff search and review time to fulfill the request. You can find more information on this subject in rule 10.500(e)(4)(C) and (e)(4)(D). The commercial use fee does not apply for representatives of the news media.

Accommodation: A person with a disability may send a request for records in other formats too. You will find information about accessibility issues and about accommodation for people with disabilities here.
