Grayson County Courts at Law Adjournment & Extension Requirements

If an opposing party sets a trial date that conflicts with an attorney’s scheduled vacation, the vacationing attorney must seek leave to reschedule by filing a motion for continuance.

If an opposing party sets a trial date, which conflicts with the scheduled vacation, it is the responsibility of the vacationing attorney to file a motion for continuance seeking leave of Court to reschedule said setting.

A continuance or postponement will not be granted unless all parties’ counsel consent or nonjoining parties are notified and given an opportunity to object.

No request for a continuance, to pass, postpone or reset any trial, pretrial, or other hearing shall be granted unless counsel for all parties consent, or unless all parties not joining in such request have been notified and have had an opportunity to object.

Unless all represented and non-represented parties consent in writing and the Court approves the request, a continuance request requires a motion filed under the applicable Texas rule and set through the Court’s Coordinator or the usual motion-setting process; a noncompliant motion will be denied without prejudice.

Unless counsel for all represented parties and all non-represented parties consent in writing to the request for a continuance and the same is approved by the Court, a motion must be filed pursuant to Rule 251, et seq. of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, as applicable, and the motion must be set by the Court’s Coordinator, or in the same manner as all other motions. Any motion that does not meet these requirements will be denied without prejudice to the right to refile.
