Summary

The 302nd District Court's docket rules and its bench-trial discovery-control-plan template: the weekly docket grid for both benches, AJ-report enforcement pending appeal (no contempt until the appeal resolves), Daubert challenges before pre-trial, the 30-day summary-judgment bar, the Rule 165a dismissal docket with in-person retention, the 24-hour temporary-hearing exhibit exchange, TRO-beyond-standing-order affidavit practice, written requested relief at every hearing, and the DCP template's fixed terms — the 3-hour-per-side bench-trial cap, the mediate-or-1-hour rule with the $3,000/8-hour court-appointed mediator cap, 10-day Daubert filing, 7-day exhibit stipulations and notebooks, and the child-interview waiver default.

Applies to

Texas > Dallas County > 302nd District Court (family; Hon. Sandra L. Jackson; AJ Tamika Jones Abendroth) — the docket-grid/standing-rules instrument and the court's bench-trial DCP template, composed together as the scheduling regime; the court's Mar. 2025 Policies and Procedures instrument is composed separately and controls where the two overlap

Reviewer note: Two own-site instruments composed as one scheduling rule (custody shas in the crawl ledger: 302nd-District-Court-Docket-Control.pdf, undated, and BENCH-TRIAL-DISCOVERY-CONTROL-PLAN-AND-SCHEDULING-ORDER-20220720.pdf); overlap with the dated 3-11-25 policies noted — the dated policies instrument controls on conflict and this rule carries the additional docket-grid, dismissal-mechanics, exhibit-exchange, and DCP-template terms; staff roster preserved in the source, generalized here.
