What is the name of your state? Texas
I've searched this website for Change of Venue, but haven't come across what I was wanting to know.
I am the plaintiff in a small claims case (described in a separate thread), and the defendant's attorney has filed a Motion to Transfer Venue.
I have found the venue section (Section 15) of Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code and am in the process of studying that.
The courthouse has scheduled a Change of Venue hearing, and I am wondering what I should expect at that hearing--e.g., will it just be me and the judge, or might the defendant's attorney be there? The notice from the courthouse for the hearing says I should "have all documents, witnesses, evidence, etc. with you at that time to support your case." I assume they are only referring to evidence, documents, etc. regarding the venue issue and not the case itself, correct?
We are assuming that the judge will grant the defendant's request for a change in venue, but as there will be a hearing, I want to prepare for it properly, of course, and would like to have some idea of how the hearing might be conducted.
Thanks!
