Generally speaking, a Motion for Continuance is extremely limited in an eviction lawsuit and usually requires agreement by both sides. The courts try to crank these cases out at a relatively high speed compared to most other civil claims. While the average Justice Court Civil claim may go for 6 to 9 months, and eviction is usually wrapped up in 30 to 45 days. However, a Motion for Continuance may be granted in the event of an emergency. #TexasPropertyCode #TexasLandlords #Landlords #Landlording #LandlordAttorney #TexasPropertyRights #PropertyLaw #Court #Trial #MotionForContinuance #RentalProperty #ErnieGarcia #JP #Lawsuit #JusticeofthePeace #ServiceofProcess #Jurisdiction #CountyCourt

The Abuse of Order 7 Rule 11: **A Cause of Unnecessary Delay in Civil Proceedings** Order 7 Rule 11 in civil proceedings. This provision, meant to serve as a safeguard against frivolous litigation, allows for the rejection of a plaint at threshold. However, the tactical invocation of Order 7 Rule 11 has increasingly become a tool for delaying proceedings, often causing undue hardships to genuine litigants. In my opinion the Courts must impose significant costs on frivolous applications under this provision. In the enclosed order one can see that the findings of the Ld. Court are clear that the application was on frivolous grounds still it did not impose costs wherein this application delayed the suit by 6 months wasting the court's time and delay in justice. Somehow I feel more than CrPC, it was CPC that was needed to be reformed.... #LegalReform #CivilProcedure #Order7Rule11 #LegalPractice #JudicialEfficiency #AccessToJustice #Justice4Simran

When the Tenant Fails to Pay Rent Into the Court Registry The most common way for a tenant to appeal is by filing an Affidavit of Inability to Afford Costs, also known as a Pauper’s Affidavit. However, the tenant also generally agrees as part of this appeal to pay their rent into the court’s registry and in accordance with an order by the court. But what if they don’t pay? #TexasPropertyCode #TexasLandlords #Landlords #Landlording #LandlordAttorney #TexasPropertyRights #PropertyLaw #RentalProperty #ErnieGarcia #JP #JusticeofthePeace #Court #CountyCourt #EvictionAppeal #WritofPossession #TrialdeNovo #CourtRegistry

SC judgment dated 31/01/2024- initiation of criminal proceedings for civil dispute observed at para 34. In sum, the dispute, if any, is between the land-owners/principals inter-se and/or between them and the PoA-holder. We think it would be improper to drag the appellant into criminal litigation, when he had no role either in the execution of the PoA nor any misdeed by the PoA- holder vis-à-vis the land-owners/principals. Moreover, the entire consideration amount has been paid by the appellant to the PoA-holder.
