This form is for use only in cases filed on or after September 1, 2023. Prior amendments to the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure effective for cases filed on or after January 1, 2021, and on or before August 31, 2023, eliminated the request for disclosure and provided instead for required disclosure, without request, of an expanded list of items of discovery. For required disclosures for cases filed on or after January 1, 2021, and on or before August 31, 2023, see forms 5-18 through 5-20.
The request for disclosure may identify the information or material requested merely by reference to rule 194.2 or the specific subdivision of rule 194.2 in which the item is described. Tex. R. Civ. P. 194.1. The following form incorporates the full description of the categories in the rule, however, so that neither party’s attorney need spend further time and expense explaining to the client what information or material is being requested, and so that a pro se receiving party can readily understand how to respond to the request. Pending changes to rule 194, as it pertains to family law cases, may enlarge the list of items that may be requested under the rule.
