Rule 23.1 Pre-Trial Orders in Non-Community Property Cases

If you have a family law case that does not involve dividing community property, each court may have its own specific rules about pre-trial orders. These local rules are listed in Appendix 23.1, so you will need to check that section to find out what your specific court requires before trial.

If your case involves splitting up community property between spouses, the rules are different. You will need to look at Chapter 30 instead, since that section covers pre-trial orders for property division cases specifically. Checking the right section matters because courts can have different requirements depending on the type of case you have.
