Generally, the party receiving the discovery request has 30 days to respond. Some exceptions and variations apply, so make sure you review how much time you have to respond depending on the type of case, the rules, and the type of discovery method used.
Rule 192.2. Timing and Sequence of Discovery (2021) (a) Timing. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties or ordered by the court, a party cannot serve discovery on another party until after the other party's initial disclosures are due.
For example, in Level 2 discovery, which is the most common type, discovery begins when the suit is filed and continues until 30 days before the trial is set (in family law cases).
It essentially provides that the statute of limitations (the time within which a lawsuit must be filed) does not begin to run until the plaintiff knows or reasonably should know of the injury, harm, or damage that forms the basis of the lawsuit.
A document not filed electronically may be served in person, by mail, by commercial delivery service, by fax, or by email.
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.
The Texas Discovery Rule is a legal concept that plays a crucial role in the state's civil litigation process. Imagine you find yourself in a situation where you believe you have a legal claim, but you only discover the harm or injury later on. In such cases, the Texas Discovery Rule becomes particularly significant.
(3) Interrogatories. Any party may serve on any other party no more than 25 written interrogatories, excluding interrogatories asking a party only to identify or authenticate specific documents.
Whether to admit interrogatory answers is within the discretion of the trial court, just as with any other evidence, and a trial court's refusal to admit such evidence will only be reversed upon a showing of manifest abuse of that discretion.
