Motion To Dismiss Guide

Summary

Filing a motion to dismiss in Texas involves identifying jurisdictional and procedural issues, drafting the motion with relevant facts, and serving it to the opposing party. In this case, the complaint lacks specific details like time and location, which are crucial for establishing jurisdiction and probable cause. The absence of these details, along with procedural defects, strengthens the argument for dismissal. While financial constraints limit access to legal aid, resources like law libraries and online forums can provide guidance. A case rating below 90 suggests valid points but not guaranteed dismissal. Consider self-representation or seeking community legal clinics for assistance.

Is there ever a guarantee in any Case. This is not the original complaint, it was done by phone in a different city. The property in question I'm actually partly the lien holder. The fact that the complaint does not reference the original complaint and the information in the complaint is extremely incorrect. There are many different flaws in this case including the fact the ADA never verified the information.
Case Rating: *
There's never a guarantee in any legal case, as outcomes depend on numerous factors including evidence, legal arguments, and judicial discretion.
