Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am representing myself in a Suit Modifying Parent-Child Relationship. I have failed to submit the written interogatories in a timely manner and can not afford an attorney. I would like to either vacate the trial-or without running into harsh consequenses of doing so, I may set a time to talk with the petitioner's attorney. What step/action could be taken next in order to prevent too much damage to my case until a futher date?

You can file interrogatory answers late (after the time limit has passed); the only consequence (assuming that the other side hasn't filed a motion to compel) is that you can't make objections. Objections must be made during the 30-day time limit.

You should contact the Petitioner's attorney and ask for a sit-down meeting, and see if you can reach some sort of agreement.
