Texas Judge Practice Restrictions
Summary
In Texas, county judges generally cannot practice law in their courts to avoid conflicts of interest. Rule 216 relates to jury trial requests, not judicial practice. Contested hearing requests should be made 30 days prior to the trial. Judges have limited discretion for late requests. Suspected bias should be reported to the Texas Judicial Conduct Commission. Post-trial, no specific deadline exists for drafting a divorce decree, but delays can be legally addressed.Full Conversation
