Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Re: Postpone scheduled court date

Some courts like municipal or justice of the peace courts, will allow your attorney to just merely write a letter requesting another court date. Some will allow your attorney to come to court in person and change the date if no hearing or trial is scheduled. Otherwise, you have to file a verified Motion for Continuance with the court and get another court date scheduled to hear the Motion. Whether or not there will be a hearing date on the Motion is up to the particular court the case is assigned.
