In divorce cases involving minor children, the Calhoun County Court at Law will not sign a Final Decree of Divorce until a child support order issued or approved by the Office of the Attorney General is on file; the parties must open a child support case with the OAG Child Support Division and submit its order before the decree is considered. Resources listed for unrepresented parties (Texas RioGrande Legal Aid; the OAG Victoria office).

Judge Wolfe enforces AO S-2024-062(28)(A) with teeth: every pretrial motion in a case transferred to TD-3 must be scheduled and heard by the original transferring judge — failure to do so timely is deemed a waiver.
Judge Rice mirrors the F-division waiver with an exception: all motions other than motions in limine must be filed AND heard before the Pretrial Conference or they are waived; limine motions must at least be filed by then.
