Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

i have a very serious matter, my roommate is being jerked around with the court systems, because its quite contrary that the soon to be ex husband, has lied numberous times about the next court date

Where to start, well back in Sept of 09 she went to the required trial setting date for her divorce in montgomery county, and since they told her he wasn't the father of the child and she doesn't live in montgomery county, they dismissed the case. She cried that day, but i told her not to worry about it she can just file in harris county and move on with her life. Well today (6 months later) her soon to be ex texted her to let her know there was a court date showing for march 12th, we called the court house to verify the date, they don't have anything in the system nor does it say the case has been dismissed so therefore the case is still open??? We thought about going back to that court house and speak to that particular judge to find out what happened, Or should we just continue on and deal with the case in harris county? The case in harris county has already been set for may. Any advice would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks again

You should go online and find a process server who operates in that county. Call him (or email him) and ask him how much he would charge you to go to the courthouse and review the file, ask the clerk's office, and find out what is actually set, whether or not the case has been dismissed, etc.
