That bright line or “two-dismissal” rule is: “If a plaintiff has once dismissed an action, a dismissal by notice of a second action based on or including the same claim, amounts to an adjudication on the merits.
That bright line or “two-dismissal” rule is: “If a plaintiff has once dismissed an action, a dismissal by notice of a second action based on or including the same claim, amounts to an adjudication on the merits. As such, the second dismissal effectively creates a res judicata bar to a third action.” Campbell at 6.
Dismissal Without Prejudice: Allows the plaintiff to refile the case in the future, assuming no statute of limitations has elapsed. Dismissal With Prejudice: This is a final judgment that prevents the plaintiff from bringing the same claim or cause of action against the same defendant in the future.
Effect of Dismissal Without Prejudice A case that is dismissed without prejudice can be refiled. If it is a criminal case, the prosecutor can refile the charges. If it is a civil case, the plaintiff can refile the lawsuit. In this sense, a dismissal without prejudice is only a temporary dismissal.
A motion to reopen evidence can be pivotal in Texas family law cases. This motion allows a party to present additional evidence after the trial has concluded but before the final ruling. This is available for both divorce and child custody cases.
If a case is “reinstated” it is reopened after being dismissed. If your case was dismissed for want of prosecution, you can ask the judge to reopen your case by filing a Motion to Reinstate Case on Docket and Notice of Hearing (if you file by the deadline discussed below.) See Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 165(a)(4).
In Texas, civil statute of limitations laws are anywhere from one to five years, depending on the severity of the claim.
In Texas, dismissed cases are typically still part of your criminal record, but they may be eligible for expunction or nondisclosure in certain circumstances. Expunction completely removes the record of the case, as if it never happened, while nondisclosure limits access to the record by most employers and the public.
Lost Evidence If the prosecution lost an important piece of physical evidence, then the case may not be able to go to trial. If this happens, the prosecution may not have enough other evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt so the case may be dismissed.
Unlike dismissals with prejudice, which permanently close a case, a non-suit leaves the door open for future litigation. The process is governed by Rule 162 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, which ensures plaintiffs retain some degree of control over their lawsuits.
