Custom Temporary Orders Submission

Summary

In Texas, you can submit custom temporary orders if they meet statutory requirements. Ensure the parenting plan prioritizes the childs best interests and complies with Texas Family Code sections 153 and 154. Amendments to pleadings are allowed under Rule 63, but must be filed timely or with court permission. Proper service of documents is crucial, and alternative methods like certified mail or a process server can be used if direct service is not possible. Clearly label amendments and ensure they meet procedural standards.

Yes. My issue is that the orginal Temporary Orders was for sole custody. Where as the one I want to submit has a parenting plan. The other issue is that the respondent was never served by process server for the originla motion or Temporary orders paperwork. The Order to appear was served and she received that, but the rest was to be served by the constable. She moved and was unable to be served.
Hi ****! Here are some steps for your situation:
*. Amendment: File your amended Temporary Orders with the parenting plan.
*. Service of Process: Ensure the respondent is properly served with all documents, including the amended orders.
Would you like guidance on how to ensure proper service of the amended documents?
How can I serve her the whole pleading? She was never served but she appeared in court for the first court date.
If the respondent has already appeared in court, even if not formally served, you can still ensure she receives the full pleading. Here’s what you can do:
*. File a Motion for Substituted Service: Request alternative service methods.
*. Serve in Court: Since she appeared in court, you may be able to serve her directly there.
*. Mail Service: Send the documents via certified mail with a return receipt.
Would you like more details on these service methods?
