Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Title 7, Chapter 155: Settlement Weeks

Texas Legislature. Sep. 1, 2009
https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/DocViewer.aspx?DocKey=CP%2fCP.155&Phrases=alternative%7cdispute%7cresolution&HighlightType=1&ExactPhrase=False&QueryText=alternative+dispute+resolution

This chapter states that any county with a population of 150,000 or above shall have a settlement week, during which district courts, constitutional and statutory county courts and the family law courts "will facilitate the voluntary settlement of civil and family law cases." Any attorney currently licensed in Texas may serve as a mediator if he or she has proper training. Administrative judges will cooperate with a mediation or alternative dispute resolution center, as well as with the local bar and other interested organizations, in order to "encourage participation and increase public awareness about settlement week."
