What To Expect In a Lawsuit

When you’ve been served with a lawsuit, the court allows a certain amount of time for a defendant to file a response to the summons served by the plaintiff. By filing a response, you are submitting to the court that you are contesting the case. This means that the plaintiff will have to the burden of proving their case at trial. Your response to the summons must be submitted in a proper legal format. If it is not filed on time, or not in the right format, you may lose the case by default judgment. After a default judgment, your wages could be garnished, and non exempt property could be taken from you depending on what the court decides.

Even if you feel that you are at fault, filing a timely response may help you avoid a default judgment. Filing a response does not mean you are trying to avoid legitimate debts. Maybe you disagree with the amount of money the plaintiff is asking for in the lawsuit, or perhaps you have extenuating circumstances. Filing an answer gives you the chance to be heard, puts the burden on plaintiff of proving their case and full amount of alleged damages, and preserves your right to be notified of further hearings.

This form can be used for responding to summons pertaining to:

Eviction

Over 40 million Americans are at risk for eviction. A January survey by the US Census found that 1.6 million Texans are not sure how they are going to pay next month’s rent. In February 2021, Texas rolled out the Texas Eviction Diversion Program (TEDP). This program creates a streamlined process that diverts eviction hearings away from normal courts.

Landlords and tenants come to an agreement with payments being made on an as-available basis. Cases that have been diverted to TEDP are dismissed and proceedings marked confidential to protect tenants. For more information please see the following link: https://www.txcourts.gov/programs-services/eviction-diversion-program/

For tenants with severe financial difficulties who have applied and are accepted, TEDP may allow funding up to 12 months of past rent and 3 months of future rent.

By filing an answer to an eviction, it is TXResponse hope that your rights as a tenant are observed and respected.

You don’t want a default judgement, do you?
