Relief from Texas judgment?

A default judgement from who? What do you mean by relief?

Like Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 60(b) - Relief from Judgment, which has been copied by a majority of states. Texas does its own thing, of course, and it isn't quite clear to me how Texas Courts work the same process.

Most states have something very similar to F.R.C.P. 60(b), which is the mechanism used to set aside a default judgment.

How is it done in Texas, I wonder?

On what grounds? Texas uses the Civil Practices and Remedies. If you were improperly served or sued in the wrong venue, you have 1 year to file a Motion to Vacate.

The Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code is one thing and the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure is a totally different thing.

I'd like to know, specifically, what Texas Code section you are relying upon. I can't find it.

Texas RCP is called the Texas Civil Practices and Remedies. Guess I'm not understanding what you are trying to accomplish. Have you been sued, did not answer the summons, and a default judgement was entered in against you? If so, why did you not respond? What grounds to you feel the judgement should be vacated?

You misunderstand. I'm not looking for advice. I'm looking for solid, practical, and useful information about Texas state legal procedures. Specifically, the rules controlling the judicial process of setting aside a default judgment.

Not to worry. I have it almost figured out. The tough part will be explaining it.
