Comment
Rule 16 is added to provide procedures for cases that require additional resources, as mandated by sections 74.252-74.257 of the Government Code, enacted effective January 1, 2012. The procedures in Rule 16 are not exclusive; judges may still be assigned as provided for in sections 74.052-74.062 of the Government Code.
