What is civil litigation in texas?

From contract breaches to landlord/tenant disputes, civil litigation cases can be complex and require the experience of skilled attorneys.

Plaintiff & Defendant

In civil litigation cases, there are typically two parties involved - the plaintiff and the defendant. The plaintiff is the party who initiates the lawsuit, seeking some form of relief or resolution from the defendant, who is the party being sued. The defendant must then respond to the allegations made by the plaintiff, either admitting or denying them.


The Different Stages

The process of civil litigation can be lengthy and complicated, involving multiple stages such as filing a complaint, discovery (gathering evidence), pre-trial motions, mediation or settlement negotiations, and eventually a trial if necessary. It requires a deep understanding of legal procedures and laws, as well as strong negotiation skills to navigate successfully.
