Important to Note
- The agency typically does not keep case records for General Docket cases beyond five years after a case is closed.
- For some cases created prior to May 26, 2022 you may find two entries for the same case in JCATX. It appears that one electronic docket includes case records filed prior to May 26, and the other includes records filed after May 26.
