Texas Discovery Request Guidelines

The new rule means that for family law cases filed after September *, *, you don't have to provide initial disclosures automatically. Instead, you need to follow the Texas Family Code Chapter * for discovery. This involves formally requesting information and documents from the other party relevant to your case.

Got it! For family law cases involving modification (like child custody or support), you'll need to follow these steps for discovery under Texas Family Code Chapter *:
