    Default Discovery Rules for Texas

    My question involves small claims court in the state of: Texas

    We have a pending small claims suit against a small development company.

    They have hired a laywer who appears to be trying to play games, and delay.

    First he filed a motion for dismisal because we did not provide him with evidance (he never asked). Judge berated him for not knowing the rules of small claims court and dismissed his claim.

    Now he has filed a "First Motion Seeking Leave of Court To Conduct Discovery". We have a hearing for this in 2.5 weeks.

    From what I can tell (not much likely) it looks like in Texas Discovery is completly up to the Judge? If the Judge allows it, what should I be prepared to present? Every detail of the evidence I have, or just a broad overview, etc.?

    Thanks!

    If the judge authorizes discovery, then discovery will be allowed consistent with the court's order. I have no way of telling you in advance what the court will authorize or what the defendant will ask for if and when the court authorizes discovery.
