Successful applicant must to be able to function with little or no guidance in extremely chaotic environment, and be able to stand long periods of indecision punctuated by short bursts of frantic activity... Toleration of tobacco smoke required. Affinity for hard liquor is recommended... Free parking ... Only the stouthearted need apply." Soon, we'll ship you an update containing 25 revised forms in the following volumes:
WebUpdate - Finally, the long-awaited ProDoc WebUpdate makes its Texas debut. This feature enables your ProDoc to automatically update itself when you open ProDoc. Now, we can automatically provide updates to your ProDoc document assembly program, as well as to the ProDoc volumes and PowerPacks to which you subscribe. In order to use this feature, however, we need to update your account - and you've probably been receiving emails, letters, and maybe even phone calls about it. If you have not already updated your ProDoc account information, please call us at 866-299-6608 or email us. eFiling Tip - Save Time by eFiling from ProDoc If you've been eFiling through the state eFiling system (TexasOnline), chances are that you've been doing so directly from our eFiling web site, www.prodocefile.com. And, there is nothing wrong about going directly there. However, there is a significant benefit to eFiling through ProDoc, particularly for your first eFiling in a case. By eFiling through ProDoc, client and case information pre-loads on our web site for you instead of you having to manually enter it—saving you time and the risk of errors in data entry. Learn how to eFile from ProDoc >> ProDoc Customer Support: Creating Form Sets Forms sets enable you to select an entire grouping of commonly used documents with only a mouse-click, instead of requiring you to select each document individually to generate in one ProDoc document assembly session. For instance, for family law matters, you might create a form set you name Contested Divorce containing the following forms:
Or, for your real estate matters, you might create a form set you name Residential Closing Docs that contains these forms:
You can create as many different form sets as you wish in any volume. If you are not now using form sets in ProDoc, you are wasting some of its incredible productivity capability for your firm.

This is especially true for ProDoc and SOS® users. Networking enables everyone in your firm to share ProDoc case data and documents, SOS calendars, billing information, client information, etc. But, until now, setting up and maintaining a network was beyond the capabilities of most attorneys. However, Network Magic™ Pro may have just changed that. This is an intuitive program that handles all network connections and monitoring for you. And, at $49 for up to 8 computers, it's a bargain even when compared to hiring your neighbor's teen son to set up and maintain your network.
