Gillespie County District Court, Texas Filing Rules

Counsel presenting an ex parte application must certify in writing when presenting it that, to counsel’s best knowledge, the opposing party is unrepresented; the listed certification alternatives continue beyond this excerpt.

2. When setting or resetting a case for trial, pre-trial, etc., please contact the Court Coordinator for available dates. Then, contact all other counsel and obtain a date that everyone is available.

The State must furnish the Defense a copy of its case-in-chief witness list on or before the day it files the list.

The attorney fee statement must be submitted to the trial judge on the date the case is disposed of by plea, bench trial, or jury trial.

Filing a motion for continuance alone does not grant the continuance.

Before filing any motion, counsel must confer with opposing counsel and attempt to resolve the matter.

A setting for trial on the merits will be made in response to a written Request for Setting submitted directly to the Court Coordinator at the Kerr County Office. The party requesting a setting should E-file the Request for Setting with the Clerk, then forward a copy of the file marked request to the Court Coordinator with the agreed order setting.

After obtaining an agreed date, send the Court Coordinator a courtesy copy of the file-marked Motion, the proposed Agreed Order, and a statement that the date is agreed.
