FAQ
If a default judgment has been issued against you, all is not lost. You may still have the opportunity to challenge the judgment by filing a Motion for New Trial. This motion asks the court to reconsider the case, giving you a chance to present your evidence and arguments.
Is a Default Judgment a Final Judgment? A default judgment is a final judgment because it is a decision on the merits (as it was properly heard). Therefore, if a party disagrees, they must file an appeal or a motion to reconsider. The defaulting party may obtain a reverse judgment if they appeal the decision.
You have four main options to deal with a default judgment: Accept the judgment. Settle the judgment for less. Challenge the judgment. Pursue debt relief.
An eviction must be filed in the Justice precinct where the rental property is located. Texas Property Code, Sec. 24.005 sets out the notice requirements for eviction suits. (Unless the notice requirements are stated in the signed lease.)
If the defendant is properly served, but fails to appear at the hearing and has not filed an answer, the plaintiff may be awarded a default judgment as long as the petition contains all required information and proof of service has been correctly filed with the court.
In Texas, an eviction is also called a “forcible entry and detainer,” and a landlord cannot remove a tenant from the property without filing such a case. You can be evicted for violations of terms listed in your lease, for example: Not paying rent on time.

You need to file with the Justice Court that issued the Eviction Citation. This should be in the same precinct as the property. If you have appealed your case to County Court and have not already filed an Answer, you would file with the County Court. You may be able to file online at efiletexas.
