Trial Practice
Texas summary judgment and related termination motions
1 volume. Updated annually.
This practice guide, updated most recently for 2010-11, assists litigators in making or opposing termination motions such as summary judgment, adjudication, dismissal, quash summons, strike, and judgment on the pleadings. It is intended both for the motion proponent--those representing a party moving to terminate an action--and for the motion opponent--those representing a party seeking to oppose defense motions. The title is divided into five chapters: summary judgment; plea to the jurisdiction; motion to strike; special appearance; and dismissal motions. Included are analyses of these procedures, sample motions and briefs, templates, citations, and practice tips.
