Tex. R. Civ. P. 500.8
Discovery
(a) Pretrial Discovery. Pretrial discovery is limited to that which the judge considers
reasonable and necessary. Any requests for pretrial discovery must be presented to the
court. Failure to comply with a discovery order can result in sanctions, including
dismissal of the case or an order to pay the other party’s discovery expenses.
(b) Post-judgment Discovery. Post-judgment discovery is not required to be filed with the
court. The party requesting discovery must give the responding party at least 30 days to
respond to a post-judgment discovery request. The responding party may file a written
objection with the court within 30 days of receiving the request. If an objection is filed,
the judge must hold a hearing to determine if the request is valid. If the objection is
denied, the judge must order the party to respond to the request. If the objection is upheld,
the judge may reform the request or dismiss it entirely.
