Tex. R. Civ. P. 246 (2026)

The clerk must keep a record of all cases set for trial and, upon written request, must send the parties the date of setting as provided in Rule 21(f)(10). Failure of the clerk to send such information on proper request is sufficient ground for continuance or for a new trial when it appears to the court that such failure has prevented a party from preparing or presenting the party’s claim or defense.
