A plea in abatement is a pleading by the defendant, as a response to the plaintiff’s claim, used to allege facts that arose outside of the petition and provides reasons, other than lack of venue or jurisdiction, for why the case should not proceed or why the case should be dismissed. A plea in abatement alleges that it is unnecessary for the court to hear the matter because, regardless of the facts stated in the petition, the plaintiff cannot recover. (Tex. R. Civ. P. 85; Augustine v. Nusom, 671 S.W.2d 112, 115.)
A plea in abatement may be included in an independent instrument or included in the answer and it must be brought before the court so that it may be heard prior to trial. (Tex. R. Civ. P. 85, 166(a), 175, 330(h); Day v. State, 489 S.W.2d 368, 371; Shiffers v. Estate of Ward, 762 S.W.2d 753, 755.)
A plea in abatement should:
(Tex. R. Civ. P. 45; GOOD v. STANSBERRY, 240 S.W. 958, 959-60; Bryce v. Corpus Christi Area Convention & Tourist Bureau, 569 S.W.2d 496, 497.)
The plea may be based on any fact that is not in the petition and does not challenge venue or jurisdiction. The plea simply must present a reason to suspend or dismiss the case. Additionally, the burden is on the moving party to prove all relevant facts by a preponderance of the evidence. (Austin Neighborhoods Council, Inc. v. Bd. of Adjustment, 644 S.W.2d 560, 564-65; Atkinson v. Reid, 625 S.W.2d 64, 67.)
