EP285 TXDocs, A Conversation with its Creator
On the LMIPodcast, we interview Alan Schoolcraft, the founder and CEO of TXDocs.com, and Dries Driessen, the COO, about their legal document automation software. Alan shared his background, explaining how he created the original ProDoc software in the 1990s, the precursor to the modern Westlaw Form Builder, and later launched TXDocs to compete in the Texas market.

Dries outlined the core functionality of TXDocs, which includes a library of thousands of legal forms across 13 practice areas and a document assembly tool that automates the drafting process. They also discussed their approach to continuously improving the software, incorporating feedback from attorneys, and collaborating with experienced practitioners like former Texas family District Court Judge, Tristan Longino, to ensure the forms are comprehensive and enforceable.
Looking ahead, Alan and Dries highlight upcoming developments, including legislative updates, new practice area modules, enhancements to the family law inventory tools, integrating AI, and a major overhaul of the core TXDocs application to streamline the document assembly and e-filing workflow.
