Affording an attorney might not be possible for everyone.
But it should not stop you from representing yourself competently in court. Our Texas Lawsuit Answer Form package is a complete guide with easy to use forms and templates. It will show you how to respond to a lawsuit yourself without an attorney!
Lawsuit Answer Forms
This Texas Lawsuit Answer Form package is a comprehensive guide that contains the forms, templates and samples you need to file an answer to a civil citation and petition (also known as a summons and complaint) in Texas State District or County Court. This guide will show you how to respond to a lawsuit without an attorney. It will also show you how to take the next steps in a civil lawsuit, including how to send and respond to requests for production, introduce exhibits, offer objections, and how to interview witnesses at a hearing or trial.
This lawsuit answer guide is a 100% digital download that is available for use immediately after your purchase (an email will be sent to you with a link to download your forms). You must have the ability to open MS Word and PDF files to use these forms and guides.
If your lawsuit forms are not formatted correctly, they may be rejected by the court clerk! Lawsuitforms.org is the only website that offers state-specific form templates for filing an answer to a civil lawsuit. Most other websites sell overpriced, poor quality, generic forms that are NOT in compliance with state court rules.
The Texas Civil Lawsuit Answer Guide includes ALL of the following as digital files. No shipping is required.

How To Send And Respond To A Request For Production Of Documents In Texas
After a civil petition and answer have been filed and initial disclosures have been completed, the next step in any civil lawsuit is to request relevant information about the case from the other party. This is primarily done by sending an official Request for Production of Documents (RFP). This instructional booklet will show you how to send and respond to RFPs in Texas Courts. As with the civil petition booklet, all these materials have been specifically designed for use in Texas and include:
- A fully editable MS Word template for writing a request for production of documents.
- A fully editable MS Word template for responding to a request for production of documents.
- Printed out versions of both RFP forms that you can fill out by hand if you do not want to use the MS Word version of the forms.
- A sample of a completely filled out RFP and a response to an RFP.
- Extra pleading pages in case you need more space when using the hand-fill form.
