Texas Retain a Case on Docket
In Texas, a Request to Retain a Case on Docket is a
formal request made by a party in a lawsuit to keep the case
active and prevent it from being dismissed for lack of
prosecution. This request is used when a case has been
inactive for an extended period, and the court may be
considering dismissing it due to inactivity.
By filing the request to retain a case, the party
demonstrates their intention to continue pursuing the case
and seeks to avoid its dismissal. The request usually
includes reasons justifying the need for the case to remain
on the court's docket, such as ongoing settlement
negotiations, pending discovery, or other valid factors that
may have contributed to the delay in the proceedings.
