FAQ
Nonsuit is a judgment given against a plaintiff in which the court dismisses a case because the plaintiff either was unable to make an adequate showing or is unwilling to continue with the case. A nonsuit may be voluntary or involuntary.
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. It effectively closes the matter permanently.
A motion to dismiss must be: (a) filed within 60 days after the first pleading containing the challenged cause of action is served on the movant; (b) filed at least 21 days before the motion is heard; and (c) granted or denied within 45 days after the motion is filed.
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).
Criminal charges can be dropped in Texas on several legal grounds, including a lack of evidence, an illegal search and seizure, prosecutorial misconduct, a violation of the defendant's constitutional rights, or the discovery of new evidence that exonerates the defendant.
In sum, a dismissal with prejudice means that a judge's order is the final judgment in the case, and the prosecutor cannot refile charges. In a dismissal without prejudice, the prosecutor can, in the future, either refile the charges or file new charges based on the same alleged criminal incident.
Consider an Affidavit of Non-Prosecution If the alleged victim wishes to have the charges dropped, they can file this document with the prosecutor. However, a resultant dismissal is not guaranteed, and legal advice is crucial before pursuing this option.
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.
Rule 60 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure provides “Any party may intervene by filing a pleading, subject to being stricken out by the court for sufficient cause on the motion of a party.” Tex.
