Dear [Judge's Name], Subject: Order Granting Directed Verdict in the case of [Case Name] I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. I am writing to request an order granting a directed verdict in the aforementioned case. As per the evidence presented and the applicable laws in the state of Texas, it is our firm belief that a directed verdict is warranted and in the best interest of justice. To provide a clear understanding of our request, let us first explain the concept of a directed verdict. A directed verdict is an order issued by a judge in a court case, typically in a jury trial, when the evidence presented is insufficient for a reasonable jury to reach a verdict in favor of the opposing party. It is a legal mechanism used to save time and resources by preventing unnecessary proceedings. In Texas, there are different types of Sample Letters for Order Granting Directed Verdict depending on the nature of the case. Some common types include: 1. Civil cases: This type of directed verdict order is sought in civil disputes involving breach of contract, personal injury claims, property disputes, etc. The request is made by the defendant or the plaintiff, depending on the circumstances and the strength of evidence presented during the trial. 2. Criminal cases: In criminal cases, a directed verdict order is sought by the defense attorney when there is insufficient evidence to prove the accused's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The order seeks dismissal of the charges against the defendant, effectively ending the trial. 3. Appeals: Directed verdict orders can also be sought during the appellate process. After the trial, if a party believes that the trial court erred in refusing to grant a directed verdict, they may file an appeal requesting the appellate court to reverse the lower court's decision. To support our request for a directed verdict in the present case, we have meticulously reviewed the evidence presented thus far. Our analysis shows that the evidence offered by the opposing party is lacking in credibility and fails to establish a prima facie case against our client. Additionally, based on the applicable laws within the state of Texas, it is evident that a reasonable jury would be unable to find in favor of the opposing party. In light of the aforementioned circumstances, we kindly request Your Honor to issue an Order Granting Directed Verdict in our favor. Such an order would preserve judicial resources, expedite the resolution of this case, and ensure justice is served. We trust in Your Honor's wisdom and impartiality to make the appropriate ruling based on the evidence presented. We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a favorable resolution soon. Should you require any additional information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm] [Contact Information]
