Editor’s note: On Nov. 14, the Texas Lawyer editorial department hosted a roundtable discussion in Dallas, “Domestic Relations: How to Make Your Case in Family Court.” Panelists included 302nd Family District Court Judge Tena Callahan of Dallas County, 303rd Family District Court Judge Dennise Garcia of Dallas County, 416th District Court Judge Chris Oldner of Collin County and 330th Family District Court Judge Andrea D. Plumlee of Dallas County. This is part two of the discussion. The judges’ discussion covered a range of topics, including temporary restraining orders, how to handle potential family violence and how to work with a pro se litigant. It has been edited for style and length. The first installment of the roundtable discussion appeared in the Dec. 24 issue of Texas Lawyer.
