If you have been personally served NOTICE of eviction (meaning a case has been filed against you with the court), you can PREVENT receiving an ORDER of eviction by contacting the landlord and paying your rent in full to the landlord at any time PRIOR to the court date, and then ask for him to withdraw the motion.
The court may issue the writ on the same day or within a few days, depending on the county.
To respond to the eviction case, you start with filling out an Answer or other response forms. Then, you file them with the court. This gives you the chance to tell the judge if there are any legal reasons your landlord can't evict you and tell your side of the story at a court trial.
