Motion for Separate Peremptory Challenges
This Motion for Separate Peremptory Challenges is brought by [name of movant], [party designation], in accordance with rule 233 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. In support, [name of movant] shows:
1.[Name of movant] is not aligned with either of the other parties and has asserted separate and distinct claims for relief.
2.The claims of [name of movant] are antagonistic to those of the other parties for the following reasons:
|
Assert the differences between the parties. For example: [Name] seeks recovery against both Petitioner and Respondent for an unpaid debt. [Name]’s claim is adverse to both Petitioner and Respondent because recovery is sought against the community estate. Or Although [names] are the parents of Petitioner, [names] assert that neither Petitioner nor Respondent should be appointed managing conservator of the children. |
3.To align [name of movant] with any other party in this case would deprive [name of movant] of the right to make peremptory challenges as provided in rule 233.
4.The proper alignment and equalization in this case would result in each party’s having six peremptory challenges.
[Name of movant] requests separate peremptory challenges.
