- Q. How to compel response for witness info request in TX ongoing case?
- A: First, file a Motion to compel, and set the motion for a hearing. Sooner the better. Make sure opposing counsel is given proper notice of the hearing.
If the opposing counsel doesn't show up, ask for sanctions and ask for the death penalty for his pleadings and evidence. In essence keeping all of his evidence out of the trial.
If he shows up, let the Court know what you have asked for and what he hasn't provided to you.
If after all of that, he still hasn't complied, when you get to trial, ask the Court to exclude any witness he may have since he didn't disclose those to you pursuant to a proper discovery request.
