Judge Santini's single-document procedure governing all motions to compel discovery in the 457th District Court, decided on the submission docket: the movant contacts the court (936-538-3697) for a submission date and serves notice per the county district-court local rules (Rule 3.7 subparts B/C, where not inconsistent); the motion sets out each disputed request BY ITS PROPOUNDED NUMBER with the request, each objection, and each answer/response quoted VERBATIM, followed immediately by succinct argument and authority for why each objection should be overruled or each response is deficient; the motion is e-filed and e-served with a Notice of Submission, and a Word/WordPerfect copy is emailed to the respondent; a proposed order restating each disputed request with space for the court's rulings is e-filed and emailed (named "[Case Number] - Proposed Order - [Party] Motion to Compel") to david.kallus@mctx.org; the respondent's response answers each discrete objection/response with argument and authority and is e-filed/e-served plus emailed to the movant; the movant may add a succinct reply beneath each response. The written discovery itself is NOT attached (except the specific highlighted page needed to prove a misquote). A no-response motion needs only a simple motion stating the service dates plus a simple proposed order. Oral-deposition compel motions follow the same steps using deposition page/line references instead of request numbers.
