San Jacinto County District Court, Texas Filing Timing and Cure Windows

Summer vacation designations must be filed with the district clerk by May 15 and protect the attorney from trials during those weeks even if a trial-setting order was previously signed.

Written designation for vacation weeks during June, July, or August must be filed with the district clerk by May 15. Summer vacation weeks so designated will protect the attorney from trials during those summer weeks, even if an order setting the case for trial was signed before the vacation designation was filed.

Non-summer vacation designations must be filed with the district clerk by February 1; non-summer weeks cannot exceed two consecutive weeks, and do not protect against a trial set by an order signed before filing.

Written designation for vacation in months other than June, July, or August must be filed with the district clerk by February 1. Non-summer vacation weeks may not run consecutively for more than two weeks at a time. Non-summer vacation weeks so designated will not protect an attorney from a trial by an order signed before the date the designation is filed.
