When a party requests documents or answers to questions from the opposing party in a lawsuit, you must do so in the form of a Motion for Discovery. A Motion for Discovery may be filed with the Court via E-File, Email, in person, or by US Mail.
Steps Of The Discovery Process. There are four key actions in the discovery process which include interrogatories, request for documents, request for admissions, and depositions.
The first phase of the discovery process is the written discovery phase. During this phase, your attorney may send and receive requests to produce documents, requests for admissions of facts, and written interrogatories.
The length of the discovery process depends on the facts of the case and the amount of evidence that has to be reviewed. Since both sides are required to submit their evidence to their opponents for review, it could take weeks or months for the lawyers on both sides to go over all of the documentation.
In the United States, there are five basic forms of discovery: depositions, interrogatories, requests for production of documents (or permission to inspect), physical and mental examinations, and requests for admission.
Parties without lawyers can also file case documents in person at the Court during normal business hours or by mail. Most case documents are posted to the Court's website, except clerk's records, reporter's records, and sealed documents. You can search for your case at search.txcourts/.
Depositions are probably the most powerful discovery tool.
