FAQ
Declaratory judgments are conclusive and legally binding, but do not have preclusive effect if: A later lawsuit involves issues other than those specifically litigated and ruled on in the declaratory judgment action.
The declaratory judgment is generally considered a statutory remedy and not an equitable remedy in the United States, and is thus not subject to equitable requirements, though there are analogies that can be found in the remedies granted by courts of equity.
A declaratory judgment is “a binding adjudication that establishes the rights and other legal relations of the parties without providing for or ordering enforcement.” (Black Law Dictionary, 11th ed.)
Generally, to file a judgment lien, an abstract of judgment must be issued by the justice court. Some justice courts have a form available on their website to request an abstract of judgment.
A Texas judgment is valid for ten years from the date it is signed by the judge. After the expiration of ten years the judgment is dormant for two years. During that two year period of dormancy the judgment cannot be enforced.
The statute of limitations for breach of contract and the declaratory judgment is generally four years from the date of the accident. The Personal Injury Trial Law protection claim statute of limitations is often defined by an insurance contract.
You'll usually have to contact the specific court to access justice of the peace (JP) court records. Some counties, like Denton and Tarrant County, allow searching JP records online. Cases appealed from JP courts may be transferred to a county court as part of a new trial.
