Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Custody suit
My daughter is being sued for full custody of her daughter by the father. A change of venue was granted by the judge in the county the suit was filed. A court date has never been set. Is it true that the plantiff has to pay a fee in the new county in order to proceed with the suit? If so, and the fee isn't paid, can't the defendant's attorney request a dismissal of the case?

Re: Custody suit
When a case is transferred from one county to another, the receiving District Clerk will send a notice to the party who requested the transfer that a filing fee needs to be paid. If the filing fee is not paid, the receiving county will not file the suit.
I suggest you consult with a lawyer.
