Appellate courts in Texas often practice deference to the trial court's judgment, which means they typically respect the lower court's decisions. This approach makes it particularly difficult to overturn temporary orders unless there are clear errors in law or compelling justifications for an appeal.
The court procedure that is used to get a temporary order is a motion. A motion is a procedure where one party asks for the court to make an temporary order for some sort of relief while waiting for the trial. It is important to note that there are different types of motions, urgent or non-urgent.
The judge listens to you, the other party, and any witnesses. If a party has a lawyer, the judge also listens to the lawyer. The judge reviews any documents that are properly offered and admitted into evidence. The judge will then decide what the temporary orders will be.
Temporary Orders hearings will generally be limited to 45 minutes per party, including cross‐examination.
So, what should you expect at a temporary orders hearing? Picture a condensed trial. Both sides present their arguments, evidence, and even witness testimonies. This is an opportunity to tell your side of the story while the judge determines what short-term orders will best serve all parties involved.
Decide whether you agree with the Motion filed by the other party. If you agree with the Motion, work with the other party to complete and file a Stipulation. If you decide that you oppose the Motion (or some part of it) complete and file a Statement Opposing the Motion and its supporting documents.
