A: A notice of lis pendens is filed in the deed records of the county where the property is located.

An application for TRO, preliminary injunction, and declaratory relief is filed electronically with the clerk of the court (which could be the county clerk, state district clerk, or federal district clerk depending on the court). Be aware that our state courts have a different e-filing system than federal courts.

If you are pro se, contact the appropriate clerk for electronic filing instructions. It may take a bit of reading and practice to get the hang of it.
