"Proving Up" ing to the Texas Young Lawyer's Pro Se Divorce Handbook, a "prove-up" is a short hearing in an uncontested divorce. At the prove-up, "you appear before the judge and give evidence and testimony as to the terms of your divorce."
This is the hearing where you would have to prove the damages you are claiming, including any special damages (wage loss, medical expenses, etc.) and general damages (emotional disstres and pain and suffering). In some ways, this hearing is just like trial testimony.
Otherwise, you'll usually need to attend a default hearing, where a judge will review your proposed divorce judgment and may ask some questions or request that you submit more information before making an official ruling.
up hearing in Texas is a court proceeding where the plaintiff presents evidence to prove their case, usually in uncontested matters or when seeking a default judgment.
Entry of default cuts off the defendant's right to appear in the lawsuit unless the defendant has a good explanation for why it failed to respond on time. However, entering default against a defendant does not mean that you have won the lawsuit.
If you're sued, you can choose to do nothing. This means that you do not file any response by the deadline. The Plaintiff then can ask the judge to decide the case without your input. This is called a default or a default judgment.
