If you decide to change your petition during the last seven days before trial, you must ask the judge for permission to amend your pleading. To ask for permission, use a Motion to Amend Pleading. (See Texas Rules of Civil Procedure 63 through 65.)
In a few situations, a judge can cancel or undo an order or judgment in your family law case. This is called a set-aside.
In Texas, there are three primary legal tools by which you as the defendant can overturn a default judgment: Filing a motion to set aside the default judgment. Filing a restricted appeal. Filing a bill of review.
The motion must be made in the trial court no later than thirty (30) days after the court pronounces the sentence. If the court grants the motion to arrest the judgment, the conviction is vacated and the defendant is put in the position he or she was in prior to the information or indictment.
You must file a Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment and Notice of Hearing within 30 days of the date the default judgment was signed by the judge. See Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 329(b). In Justice Court, the deadline is 14 days. See Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 505.3.
If you want to file a motion, the process is generally something like this: You write your motion. You file your motion with the court clerk. The court clerk inserts the date and time your motion will be heard by the judge. You “serve” (mail) your motion to the other side.
The motion for default judgment and proposed default judgment are entered on the docket. From the Clerk: The plaintiff should make a written request for the clerk to enter a default judgment, and provide the clerk with an affidavit of the amount owed by the defendant and a proposed clerk's default judgment.
In a counter-petition, you cover many of the same issues that a response covers, but you have recourse to make your own requests. Furthermore, your counter-petition is not reliant on the original petition.
Motion for a New Trial. Following a trial resulting in a guilty verdict, a defendant may seek to have the court set aside a finding or verdict of guilt and order a new trial. Such a motion must be filed, at the latest, within thirty (30) days of sentencing, or the right to request a new trial is lost.
