What is Notice of nonsuit without prejudice for Texas?
A Notice of Nonsuit is the termination of a legal action. An example of this type of notice would be if a plaintiff fails to pursue or abandons the suit; a judgment would be granted against the plaintiff in this case. In a nonsuit case ruling, there is a dismissal of the case. It can be done with or without prejudice. If done with prejudice, it means the case cannot be refiled. If done without prejudice, it can be refiled later on. In Texas, there is a form that is filled out and submitted to the court.
What does order granting plaintiffs motion for nonsuit mean?
When someone brings a suit against another person or entity, they can file a Notice of Non-Suit. That is, they can dismiss their own case.

An order granting the plantiffs motion for nonsuit is signed by the judge saying that the judge received the order of Nonsuit and will dismiss the case without prejudice.
What does order granting plaintiffs notice for nonsuit mean?
A nonsuit is generally "without prejudice," and the phrase most often used is "nonsuit without prejudice." The nonsuit is usually initiated by the complaining party (plaintiff) and stops all legal action and removed the cause from the courts docket. In many states the nonsuit action is an absolute right of the plaintiff, up to a certain point in a legal action or cause. Nonsuits are most often filed when the plaintiff feels he may lose his case, and he wants to preserve his right to bring the cause again, perhaps under more favorable circumstances. A judge can also impose a nonsuit if the court determines the suit is improperly brought. A companion term to nonsuit is a "dismissal", usually combined with the term "with prejudice." A "dismissal with prejudice" also stops all legal action associated with the cause, but the cause may not be brought again. The terms "nonsuit" and "dismissal" are often considered equivalent terms, but the common legal usage is "nonsuit without prejudice," dismissal with prejudice." The former allowing the cause to be brought again, and the latter barring the cause from being brought again.

"Dismissal without prejudice" is usually a judgment heard in criminal court, and means that a case is dismissed but CAN be reinstituted at a later time.

If it is the other party's motion, you can offer your testimony as to why it shouldn't be granted, but that is all you can do and the judge will decide how to rule.
