The Texas Bill of Costs is a form used in the state of Texas to provide an itemized breakdown of the costs associated with a court case. It is completed by the court clerk or attorney after a case is concluded, and includes both taxable and non-taxable costs. The form is usually filed with the court clerk after the case is closed. There are two types of Texas Bill of Costs: a Civil Bill of Costs and a Criminal Bill of Costs. The Civil Bill of Costs contains a list of taxable costs (such as filing fees, court reporter fees, and expert witness fees) and non-taxable costs (such as witness fees, mileage, and court-appointed attorney fees). The Criminal Bill of Costs includes the same taxable costs as the Civil Bill of Costs, but also includes costs related to incarceration (such as meals, clothing, and medical costs). Both bills of costs are important documents for the court to have in order to make sure that all costs associated with the case are properly accounted for.
