Cameron County Courts at Law Pre-Motion Conference Requirements

CRITICAL

Before filing a discovery or protection motion, the filing party must make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute without court intervention.

Any motion for discovery or for protection under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure must contain a certificate of conference completed by the party filing same which certifies that said party has made a good faith effort as required under Tex.R.Civ.P. 191.2 to resolve the discovery issues without court intervention.

WARNING

Where the party disputing claims of privilege has not requested a privilege log under Tex.R.Civ.P. 193(b) and /or has not specified which items on the privilege log are still in dispute, that failure permits the Court to deny the Motion to Compel without prejudice to re-filing after such steps are taken.
