JP Court	pdf	Rule 679a(a) TX Rules of Civil Procedure requires this order (promulgated by the Texas Supreme Court) be used in Justice Courts unless good cause is shown otherwise. It may also be used for higher courts, but that is not recommended because the scope of the receiver's authority is too limited.
