FAQ

Motion for Nonsuit in Texas A Motion for Nonsuit is what a creditor typically files to dismiss a lawsuit. The motion is usually filed ?without prejudice?. This means that the Plaintiff is voluntarily giving up on their case but they reserve the right to re-file the case if they want to.

If your case is dismissed ?without prejudice,? you can file it again (as long as there are no legal deadlines or other laws that stop you). If your case is dismissed ?with prejudice,? you cannot file it again.

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 Rules of Civil Procedure, Rules 165(a)(4).

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.

A dismissal with prejudice means that the ruling is the final judgment in the case. The dismissal prohibits the prosecutor from refiling the charges. In a dismissal without prejudice, the prosecutor can refile the charges (or file new charges based on the same circumstances) at some future time.

In a state court, you are only allowed to dismiss a lawsuit once voluntarily. However, you may receive more than one nonsuit request provided both you and the defendant agree on the dismissal. The state courts do not specify the maximum number of nonsuits you may take under such an agreement.

A case dismissed with prejudice is over and done with, once and for all, and can't be brought back to court. A case dismissed without prejudice means the opposite. It's not dismissed forever. The person whose case it is can try again.

This period is typically between three to six years but varies based on the state you live in, as well as the nature of the offense. Essentially it is a time limit for cases to be filed. Cases that are not filed before this time will expire and be considered time-barred. At this point, the case cannot be re-filed.
