Fresno County Superior Court officially moved to its new case management system and eCourt platform on April 1, 2026. To ensure your filings go through without a hitch, we’ve listed some essential steps you need to take before you begin.

1. Re-Sync Your Cases

While we have tried to import all your existing Fresno cases into the new system, some might have been missed. In these instances, you must manually re-add your existing case(s) to your account before you can e-file into the new system.

2. Update Your Payment Processor

New system, new payment processor. Fresno’s shift to eCourt includes a change in how payments are handled. Even if you’ve filed here for years, your old Tyler payment info won’t carry over for this specific court.

• Ensure you have an active payment method saved under the ‘Non-eFileCA Court’ section. This specific processor is required for all Fresno County submissions.
• If you’re unsure how to set this up, follow the “Add/Manage Payment Accounts in Non-Odyssey Courts” guide on eFilingHelp.com.

3. Handling Fee Waivers

If you are filing with a fee waiver—whether it’s already on file or you’re requesting one with your current submission—the process looks a little different.

• You still need to select a payment account. Fresno no longer uses a Waiver payment type.

• Before hitting “Submit,” verify that the Grand Total reflects $0.00. This ensures the waiver has been properly applied to the transaction.

4. Navigating the Refund Process

If you find that the Fresno Superior Court has overcharged you for a specific filing, starting on April 1, 2026, the Court now requires the user to e-file a Refund Request (Local Form PGN-98) in the case.

The Court will review these requests and if approved, refunds will be issued directly to the EFSP. Processing times may vary but can take upwards of 8 weeks.
