Can a judge change his judgment in Texas?

The answer depends on what type of court you are in. In child custody cases, for example, a judge may issue a new ruling. In criminal and civil cases, the judge's ruling is usually final. If one of the parties appeals the ruling, the appelate court has the option to remand the case back to the original judge. They do this in cases where they feel that the judge may have made an error in his initial ruling.

The disposition of an appeal is the judge's final ruling in the case, or what he decides to do to it. The three most common dispositions are: Affirmed, in which the judge agrees with the lower court and the original ruling stands, Reversed, in which the judge disagrees with the lower court and invalidates that opinion, and Remanded, in which the judge sends the case down to a lower court for further action. Cases are often both reversed and remanded.

Can action be taken before the judge makes a final ruling?

Depending on the litigation, there are several things that can be done before a judge makes a final ruling. Lawyers often file motions which are written to help the judge see a perspective before the final decision is made. An example of a motion is a 'Motion to Dismiss.' Motions can be files after the ruling. An example of this is a 'Motion to Reconsider.' If a crime has been committed, the accused can reach out and do community service or attend a 12 step program to help the judge see the change in attitude and direction. The best thing to do is present your case properly during the litigation so you do not need to answer this question. Make sure you have the best lawyer for your case. The lawyer you choose should be experienced in that courts jurisdiction. There are exceptions. Lawyers who know and practice successfully within a jurisdiction have more than likely earned respect with the judge and prosecution.
