What Is a Motion to Enter Scheduling Order?

Question

Accepted Answer

Scheduling Orders are largely governed by Tex. R. Civ. P. Rules 166, 190-192 (among other rules) and are the template for settiing discovery deadlines, conferences, and managing other aspects of a case docket through all phases of a matter. (See generally, In re Colonial Pipeline Co. (1998) 968 S.W.2d 938, 943 [stating that “[a] trial court has discretion to schedule discovery. Although discovery responses are usually due within thirty days after service of the request, the Rules provide that the trial court may shorten or lengthen the time for making a response for good cause... A trial court can, however, abuse its discretion by acting in an unreasonable manner.”])
