What notice is needed to seek dissolution or modification of a Texas no-notice TRO?

Obtain the no-notice TRO and identify the party who obtained it.

Establish the actual motion proceeding and any court order prescribing shorter notice.

Select and preserve a permitted service method and actual completed notice to the required recipient.

1. Obtain the no-notice TRO and identify the party who obtained it.
2. The ordinary two-day notice period is five days or less under Rule 4, so intermediate Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays are excluded. A court-prescribed shorter notice must be established from the actual order. Do not replace service completion with the motion drafting date.
3. Read the actual order and confirm every stated condition.
4. Complete the act required by the rule, not merely a date calculation.

Rule 4’s short-period exclusion matters to the ordinary two-day branch. Its qualifying-mail-addition exception is a different provision. Read the actual court calendar, service method and shortened-notice order. This guide applies no automatic backward closed-day adjustment or inferred shortening.

The backward two-day preset cannot establish the actual hearing, completed service, shortened-notice order or dissolution ruling. This guide explains the complete motion procedure without a computed last date or paid record.

Correct TRO and recipient

The stated Rule 680 branch concerns an order granted without notice and requires notice to the party who obtained that order. Identify the actual order and recipient.

Shorter notice needs court action

The court may prescribe shorter notice. The adverse party cannot infer shortening merely from urgency or its preferred hearing time.

Short-period computation

Rule 4 excludes intermediate weekends and legal holidays in a rule-prescribed period of five days or less, with its separate mail-addition exception. The ordinary two-day interval is not two unrestricted calendar days.

Actual motion determination

Rule 680 directs the court to hear and determine the dissolution or modification motion as expeditiously as justice requires. That direction does not supply a fixed automatic ruling date or dissolve the order upon service.

• Properly serve the required notice on the party who obtained the no-notice TRO under the applicable procedure. Preserve the motion, hearing setting, notice completion and any shortening order. Rule 21a distinguishes electronic transmission, fax and other service completion from filing. Rule 21(f)(5) ordinarily governs electronic filing before midnight in the court time zone. Obtain the actual court ruling; a notice or pending motion does not dissolve the TRO.
