Tex. R. Civ. P. 510.12
Amending and Clarifying Pleadings
(a) Amending Pleadings. A party may withdraw something from or add something to a
pleading before trial.
(b) Insufficient Pleadings. A party may file a motion with the court asking that another party
be required to clarify a pleading. The court must determine if the pleading is sufficient
to place all parties on notice of the issues in the lawsuit, and may hold a hearing to make
that determination. If the court determines a pleading is insufficient, the court must order
the party to amend the pleading and set a date by which the party must amend. If a party
fails to comply with the court’s order, the pleading may be stricken. A pleading amendment
must not delay the trial date.
