§ 51.806. SIGNATURE ON ORIGINAL. (a) If the supreme
court determines that each document filed by electronic
transmission must be signed in the original, that requirement is
satisfied if the sending station at the point of origin maintains a
hard copy with the original signature affixed that, on order of the
court, shall be filed in original hard copy medium. The electronic
transmission of the data to be filed must bear a facsimile or
printing of the required signature. The signature may be
represented in numerical form. The electronically reproduced
document must bear a copy of the signature or its representation in
numerical form.
(b) The electronically reproduced document shall be
accepted as the signature document for all court-related purposes
unless the hard copy with the original signature affixed is
requested by one or more parties to a suit or other agent required
by statute, law, or other legal requirement. A request under this
subsection must be made in the form of a motion to the court. If the
court grants the motion, the court shall order that the original be
filed with the court.
