The 58th District Court’s sua sponte Rule 190.4 discovery-control-plan order sets a deadline schedule (new parties, paper discovery, expert designations with CV and full report, discovery close, dispositive/Robinson-Havner motions, mediation, pretrial with all discovery objections brought forward or waived, and trial month). Mediation requires all parties to attend individually (corporations and insurers by a person with full authority) and mediate in good faith; Robinson/Havner motions not set for hearing by pretrial are waived; and the deadlines remain even if trial is not reached — "THERE WILL BE NO CONTINUANCES GRANTED."
