    (c) So as to expeditiously determine the appeals filed with the office using resources available to the office, the office is not required to determine more than 3,000 appeals filed under this subchapter. The office may develop a formula to establish the number of appeals that may be filed in each county included in the pilot program based on the total number of lawsuits filed in a county to which this subchapter applies as a percentage of the total number of lawsuits filed in all of those counties.
