Question

In a civil court in the state Texas,how do you request a change of venue?

Answer 1

Change of venue requests are sometimes complex and often difficult to prove.

Your question is best answered by your attorney.  Anyone who is not your attorney cannot completely and accurately answer your question.

If you do not have an attorney, use the lawyer referral service of the State Bar.

RULE 86. MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE

1. Time to File. An objection to improper venue is waived if not made by written motion filed

prior to or concurrently with any other plea, pleading or motion except a special appearance

motion provided for in Rule 120a. A written consent of the parties to transfer the case to

another county may be filed with the clerk of the court at any time. A motion to transfer

venue because an impartial trial cannot be had in the county where the action is pending is

governed by the provisions of Rule 257.

2. How to File. The motion objecting to improper venue may be contained in a separate

instrument filed concurrently with or prior to the filing of the movant's first responsive

pleading or the motion may be combined with other objections and defenses and included

in the movant's first responsive pleading.

3. Requisites of Motion. The motion, and any amendments to it, shall state that the action

should be transferred to another specified county of proper venue because:

(a) The county where the action is pending is not a proper county; or

(b) Mandatory venue of the action in another county is prescribed by one or more

specific statutory provisions which shall be clearly designated or indicated.

The motion shall state the legal and factual basis for the transfer of the action and request

transfer of the action and request transfer of the action to a specific county of mandatory or

proper venue. Verification of the motion is not required. The motion may be accompanied

by supporting affidavits as provided in Rule 87.

4. Response and Reply. Except as provided in paragraph 3(a) of Rule 87, a response to the
