You can tell the clerk that you want to file an order to show cause (?OSC?). On the OSC form you can tell the court why they should vacate this judgment based on either excusable default, lack of personal jurisdiction, or both. The OSC should include 1) a reasonable excuse and 2) a good defense.
You file a motion by completing the form and filing it with the same court that signed the default entry or default judgment. There is a $20 motion fee for filing a motion to set aside default.
You can ask to cancel, or ?set aside? a default judgment. You have to have a good reason for not responding in 30 days. If the judgment is canceled, you'll get a chance to answer.
You must file a Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment and Notice of Hearing within 30 days of the date the default judgment was signed by the judge. See Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 329(b). In Justice Court, the deadline is 14 days.
