As a rule, Texas courts won’t destroy anything in an open court case.
If my criminal defense attorney is stalling and exhibiting neglectful, inadequate and incompetent conduct can I file motions, writs and other actions or documents in my own case? I have filed a grievance but I need some immediate action to preserve my rights to a fair trial.

The accused in jail while waiting for trial gets a faster trial then the accused who is out on bond. If you are in jail after 90-120 days since... View More

It sounds to me like he is using the threat of a motion to dismiss (which will not necessarily be granted) as leverage in plea bargain negotiations.
If he files the motion to dismiss and ultimately prevails, you win.
