Tex. R. Civ. P. 71
Misnomer of Pleading
When a party has mistakenly designated any plea or pleading, the court, if justice so requires, shall
treat the plea or pleading as if it had been properly designated. Pleadings shall be docketed as
originally designated and shall remain identified as desi gnated, unless the court orders
redesignation. Upon court order filed with the clerk, the clerk shall modify the docket and all other
clerk records to reflect redesignation.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
