Help! What is the name of the form to keep your case open

[P_Mills]

What is the name of your state? TX
My divorce case is going to be closed on the 31. I was told I need to file a motion to keep my case open. I finally succeded in serving my husband after 3 and a half years. The district clerk won't tell me what the name of the paper is I need to file. She said she can't give legal advice. I'm trying to find it on the internet but I don't know what it's called.

Go to the courthouse and start looking through the dissolution cases for similar forms.

Do you need forms, it seems to be you just need to appear?
You get to be heard.
Request it not be dismissed based on the serving timeframe.
