Does a Texas court have to rule on my motion after I file it?

Question

Accepted Answer

This question has been addressed in 4 Texas court opinion(s), including In Re Jose Raquel Lerma. E-filing a motion is not enough to compel a judge to act; you must bridge the "knowledge gap" by providing a documented paper trail—such as letters to the court coordinator or formal requests for a ruling—to prove the trial court was personally notified and failed to rule within a reasonable time.
