Court Hearing Postponement Options
Summary
In Texas, requesting a continuance can delay a court hearing if you show good cause. Contact the court clerk for procedures. A Next Friend represents someone unable to represent themselves, like a minor, in legal proceedings. A legal guardian has more comprehensive rights than a Next Friend. An Agreed Order Appointing Guardian Ad Litem involves appointing a guardian with party agreement. A General Denial disputes allegations without specifics. The Plaintiffs Original Petition may be restricted for confidentiality. Multiple attorneys in a case are normal, especially with complex issues. If the same attorney files for both parties, it may indicate a conflict of interest.Full Conversation
