Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: Answer

The answer is generally started by filing a "general denial" under Rule 92 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. The best way to accomplish this is by retaining an attorney. If you can not afford one, and if the suit seeks termination of parental rights or if it seeks to jail you for violation of a court order, then you may request the court appoint an attorney. Otherwise the court is not likely to appoint an attorney. Forms for a general denial can generally be found in the county law library at the county seat.

If your case is in the DFW metroplex, e-mail me if you desire to retain counsel.

Re: Answer

Well, you must send an answer to the court on or before answer day. In Texas family court that is the Monday at 10:00 am following the 20th day after you were served. If you do not wish to contest the suit do nothing. The other side will get a default judgment against you. If you do not want what you see in the papers that you received it is wise to hire an attorney to represent you. If you want an attorney you can call me at 817 261- 2671
