A: The procedure is set forth in Chapter 11 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code.

The defendant has 90 days after filing an original answer to file a motion to determine that the plaintiff is a vexatious litigant.

The required criteria to prove that a plaintiff is a vexatious litigant is set forth in Section 11.054. There are three possibilities described in that section.
