Texas Disclosure
Nothing is automatic here — disclosure runs on the request
If you learned family-law disclosure anywhere else, unlearn one thing first: Texas family cases exchange disclosure BY REQUEST under Rule 194a. Serve the rule's request and the other side discloses within 30 days; don't serve it and this rule requires nothing. Track the categories below and run the clock from your service date.
Texas family cases use REQUEST-BASED disclosure (Rule 194a) — nothing is exchanged automatically under this rule until a party serves the request. (Rule 194's automatic initial disclosures govern suits NOT under the Family Code.) Standing orders and scheduling orders in your county can add duties — the orders control.
The Rule 194a categories
0/8 receivedMark what the other side has actually produced against your request — organization of YOUR exchange, not a legal-sufficiency ruling.
Rule 194a.2 lists further categories for specific suit types (e.g., injury-damages suits) — the rule text controls; request only what fits the case.
The response clock
The rule's request text calls for disclosure within 30 days of service of the request (194a.1).
The request window
A request may be served no later than 30 days before the end of the applicable discovery period (194a.1) — the discovery period comes from the scheduling order or the rules, and the order controls.

Orders can add duties this page can't see. County standing orders and scheduling orders commonly layer exchange obligations on top of the rule — the orders control, and the discovery period itself comes from the scheduling order, which this tracker never computes.
