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.
Texas > Montgomery County > 457th District Court (Judge Vincenzo J. Santini) — all motions to compel discovery. Supplements the county district-court local rules (Rule 3.7). TOPICs doc 100 (text) and image-only twin doc 93 are the same instrument.
Reviewer note: Text-layer registration (doc 100) read in full and quoted verbatim; image-only twin doc 93 folded as a duplicate. The registration carries no execution date on the text layer (signature line blank); effective_date left null (verify against the signed print if ever material). Composed benchpath-ajr2-p2. [RECOMPOSED 2026-09-21 (corpus-0920 P7, digital-layer lane): the full text of the registered file (sha256 41397a41ec60..., 2 pages) replaces the earlier 2,039-character abstract. Method: pypdfium2 text layer reflowed page-aware, cross-checked word-by-word against PyMuPDF (0 substantive difference(s), 0 page-furniture), owner-corpus candidate sentences 100% (4/4) matched, 0 running header/footer line(s) removed, no U+FFFD/U+FFFE/form-feed debris. NOT yet checked page by page against the render, so confidence is medium with an open re-verification task; flip to high when a reviewer has read every page against the PDF. benchpath-tx-corpus0920-p7-2026-09-21] [BY-EYE CHECK 2026-09-21 (corpus-0920 P11): every page of the registered file (sha256 41397a41ec60..., 2 page(s)) read against the rendered PDF; file-stamp, caption and signature-block defects of the text layer corrected from the render; confidence lifted to high. benchpath-tx-corpus0920-p11-2026-09-21]
