County Court at Law No. 2's page (Judge Robert Ramirez): when a notice sets a hearing by submission the parties do not come to court — the judge decides on the pleadings and documents in the court's file and allows no oral address by attorney or pro se litigant; anything the party wants considered must be submitted at least one business day before the submission date; only certain hearings may be conducted by Zoom under Texas procedural law and the court may allow non-evidentiary motions by Zoom, in which case all parties appear by Zoom using the link in the notice and must contact the court coordinator immediately if the link fails; jurisdiction covers civil matters over $500 and not over $250,000 exclusive of interest, statutory or punitive damages, penalties, fees and costs.
County Court at Law No. 2's summary-judgment instructions: every motion for summary judgment is set for an oral hearing and both parties attend unless the movant requests submission; a submission setting is obtained from the court administrator under the TRCP, the movant notifies the non-movant by certified mail, return receipt requested, of the date and time with a written statement that the movant will not appear but asks the court to consider the motion by submission and that the non-movant may appear; the case is still called and the non-movant may argue a properly filed response; no summary judgment is entered on submission unless proof of notice is filed with the clerk — an affidavit attaching the notice letter with its USPS numbers and the signed green card, the returned mail with postal notation, or the USPS tracking page; the attached forms (proof-of-proper-notice instructions with an annotated PS Form 3811) show acceptable proof.
No judge-scoped deadlines on this tab. Deadlines are extracted only when the source rule text states them — we never infer or calculate dates the rule does not explicitly contain. 9 rule deadlines apply in this courtroom across all layers — assembled with citations in the Full Premium Report.
Timing shown here is quoted from the rule text. Compute your actual date against the court's calendar and the rule itself — not legal advice.
No verified ruling summary yet. BenchPath generates ruling summaries from opinion and docket corpora (CourtListener where covered) and publishes them only after human review — fabricated judicial analytics are exactly what this platform refuses to ship.
The attributed-opinion corpus covers Florida's and California's appellate decisions today; a Texas opinion corpus is a separate build. Absence here is a coverage statement, never evidence about this judge.
