The justice courts’ rule for resolving conflicting trial settings. An attorney set for trial in two separate courts on the same date must inform both courts of the conflict in writing as soon as it becomes apparent; the justice of the peace then confers to determine priority, giving consideration to jury trials, criminal cases, cases given preference by statute, and cases with the earliest filing date.
