TXI OPERATIONS, L.P.,
TEXAS INDUSTRIES, INC.,
MARTIN MARIETTA,
MARTIN MARIETTA
MATERIALS, INC., AND
MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS
SOUTHWEST, L.L.C.,
Defendants. 134TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
AGREED MOTION TO RESET TRIAL SETTING, OBTAIN SPECIAL SETTING AND
MOTION FOR ENTRY OF AMENDED AGREED SCHEDULING ORDER
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF THIS COURT:
COMES NOW, Plaintiff Michael Williams and Defendants TXI OPERATIONS, L.P.,
TEXAS INDUSTRIES, INC, MARTIN MARIETTA, MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS,
INC, AND MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS SOUTHWEST, L.L.C. (hereinafter collectively
referred to as “the parties”) in the above-styled and numbered cause, and make and file this Agreed
Motion to Reset Trial Setting, Obtain Special Setting and Motion for Entry of Agreed Scheduling
Order. In support of these Motions, the parties would respectfully show the Court as follows:
I.
On December 1, 2022, the parties in this personal injury suit filed an agreed motion for an
amended scheduling order and preferential trial setting. As a result, on December 2, 2022, the
Court signed a Third Amended Uniform Scheduling that contained a provision among many others
that this case is specially set for jury trial on June 12, 2023. However, upon receiving a separate
AGREED MOTION FOR SPECIAL TRIAL SETTING PAGE 1
notice on December 2, 2022 of this trial setting, the parties did not recognize that particular notice
did not include a special setting.
II.
Because the parties reasonably, but mistakenly, anticipated that this case was specially set
for jury trial June 12, 2023 docket, counsel for the parties have schedule conflicts for that following
week.
III.
Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the case be specially set for jury trial for
the week of December 4, 2023. The parties further request that the attached Agreed Level III
Scheduling Order be entered. This resetting is not sought for delay, but so that justice may be
done.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the parties’ requests that the Court grant
its Agreed Motion To Reset Trial Setting, Obtain Special Setting And Motion For Entry Of
Amended Agreed Scheduling Order, enter the attached Agreed Level III Scheduling Order and
grant any further relief, both at law and in equity, to which they may be just entitled.
