  • Verify local rules (court forms, statutory notices, execution requirements) before filing
  • Avoid entering sensitive client or highly confidential data into prompts

FAQ

Is the writer really free and what features are included in the free tier?

Yes — this page offers a free starter writer that provides ready templates, guided prompts, plain‑language clause summaries, and export to DOCX/PDF/plain text. Some advanced capabilities, higher usage levels, or team management features may be part of paid plans; see /pricing for details.

Can I use a draft generated here as a legally binding document or file it in court?

You may use the draft as a starting point, but generated drafts are not a substitute for a licensed attorney's review. Before filing in court or relying on a document in transactions, adapt the content to local rules and have counsel confirm enforceability and correctness.

How accurate are jurisdictional references and how should I verify local rules?

Prompts can include a jurisdiction to tailor language, but the writer does not replace local legal expertise. Verify statutory requirements, notice formats, and filing forms with local court resources or an attorney familiar with the jurisdiction.

What should I avoid inputting and how is my data handled?

Avoid entering highly sensitive client data, privileged facts, or personal identifiers unless you have appropriate safeguards. Generated drafts are intended as editable templates; for specific privacy practices and data handling, consult Texta's privacy policy at /about or contact Texta directly.

When should I take the draft to a licensed attorney for review?

Take the draft to an attorney whenever legal enforceability, significant financial exposure, complex jurisdictional issues, or litigation risk exists. Use the AI-generated draft to reduce drafting time; reserve attorney review for legal analysis and finalization.

How do I customize templates to reflect my parties, dates, and payment terms?

Choose a template, answer the guided prompts (parties, dates, amounts, governing law) and then edit the generated draft in Word, Google Docs or your case system. Each output highlights fields and includes plain‑language notes to explain where factual input matters.

What export formats are available and how do I get a clean PDF or DOCX for filing?

The writer exports to DOCX, PDF and plain text. To produce a clean PDF for filing, export to DOCX, review and apply any local court formatting, then save or print to PDF from your word processor. Ensure required signatures and notarizations are completed per local rules.

Do you provide guarantees or legal advice about enforceability?

No — generated content is drafting assistance and not legal advice. The platform does not guarantee enforceability. Consult a licensed attorney to confirm that a document meets legal standards for your situation.
