Q: Do Judge's verbal ruling have to be written by attorneys always? and given to their clients? I live in Texas.
Judge found other party in contempt of SPO and fined them for that and for Attorney's fees. That was in January, 2017. Neither my attorney or other side's attorneys have written the order. I have been asking for it for over a year and I'm thinking of filing a grievance.
A: Typically, once a judge renders an order, it is the responsibility of one of the attorney's to deduce that order into a written form that can be followed by both parties. If you are having problem's try to reach out to your attorney some more and ask when they order will be entered. A grievance is not always the solution. You can also hire another attorney to take over the case and write the order if you are unable to effectively communicate with your counsel.
