Get a Free QuoteCourt documents carry a higher bar than most paperwork: a judge has to be able to rely on the English version as accurate, and an opposing party has the right to challenge it. When the original is in Arabic, our legal document translation team prepares a translation that meets that bar, built to the same USCIS certified translation standard of accuracy whether the document is headed to a Collin County courtroom or an immigration file.
An Arabic-speaking community is part of Plano’s identified primary-city language mix, and our Arabic translation team regularly works with Plano family law attorneys and individuals representing themselves on contracts, custody orders, and immigration document translation tied to a pending case.

Texas Courts Run on a Specific Filing Rule
Texas Rule of Evidence 1009 doesn’t just ask for a translation; it sets a procedure. The translation and the underlying Arabic document are served on every party, along with a qualified translator’s affidavit or unsworn declaration certifying the work. Miss that pairing, or file it late, and a translation that’s otherwise accurate can still draw an objection. Our translators prepare the affidavit alongside every court translation so it’s ready to file the same way the rule expects.
“The translation and the underlying foreign language document, along with a qualified translator’s affidavit or unsworn declaration setting out the translator’s qualifications and certifying accuracy.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Texas court actually require a sworn affidavit with the translation, or just the English version?
Both. Rule 1009 requires the translation to be served along with the original Arabic document and a qualified translator’s affidavit or unsworn declaration certifying its accuracy, at least 45 days before trial.
What happens if the other side disputes the accuracy of our translation?
They have to specifically identify the inaccuracies and offer their own translation, and serve that objection at least 15 days before trial. Without a timely, specific objection, the court admits the translation filed under Rule 1009.
Can you turn around a court translation quickly if a filing deadline is close?
Yes. Standard turnaround is 24-48 hours, and we can accommodate rush requests when a deadline is tight, though the 45-day service rule for trial is set by the court, not by us.
Do you translate documents for family law and probate cases, not just civil litigation?
Yes. We regularly translate custody orders, divorce decrees, powers of attorney, and probate filings in Arabic, in addition to contracts and other evidence.
