Waiver of Service

My wife's attorney had me sign a Waiver of Service, Temporary Orders to go with the Decree of Petition for Divorce.

Question: In TEXAS, is there a document I can file that would require me to be notified prior to any impending court date? In essence countering the "Waiver"?

My response:

This is a tough one. Since you entered into an agreement to "waive notice", your only hope is to file a Petition to Compel Notice, and your Points and Authorities would be based upon "mistake, surprise, or excuseable neglect" - - e.g., you didn't understand the length and breadth of such a waiver. It's a long shot, but it could work and cause the court to order a reinstatement of Notice to you.
