Re: Request for Assignment of Municipal Court Judge to Hear Case Pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 29.057(b)

Court:

Cause No.:

Case Name:

Dear Judge _____________:

[Pursuant to Government Code Sec. 29.055(b)(1)(A), I have received a request to assign a municipal court judge of this court to hear the above-referenced case because the judge in the case has recused or disqualified him/herself.]

OR

[Pursuant to Government Code Sec. 29.057(a)(1), I have received a request to assign a municipal court judge of this court to hear the above-referenced case because the judge has been recused or disqualified after a hearing on a motion.]

I find that I am unable to assign a judge of this court to hear the above-referenced case because all of the judges of this court are either recused or disqualified or are otherwise unavailable to hear the case. Therefore, pursuant to Government Code Section 29.057(b), I request that you assign a municipal judge from another municipality in the county to hear the above-referenced case, or, if necessary, a municipal judge from a municipality in an adjacent county.

Sincerely,

[Name]

Presiding Judge

Municipal Court

City of _______________
