Los Angeles, CA asked in Family Law and Civil Litigation for Texas

Q: Will my civil counter claim be thrown out for not citing statues or rules

We are looking for statutes or rules to reference in our Personal Civil Counter Claim (not a business case) but can not find the correct ones to cite.

Im looking for Assault, non recent childhood abuse, breach of verbal contract promissory estoppel , and loss of future earning capacity.

Can someone point me in the right direction to find these?

A: O’Connor’s Texas Causes of Action is my go-to for succinct summaries of many common causes of action containing case and statutory citations. I often reread the chapter(s) on specific causes of action I think should be included in a petition before I draft. Well-organized so it is a quick and easy read if you are familiar with law.
