Although there is an official statewide court form that must be used to file a civil lawsuit in Texas (Civil Information Sheet), there is no equivalent statewide court form to answer. That's because the statements you make on the form can affect your rights at trial, so you should have the answer form completed by an attorney.

If you're proceeding without an attorney, TexasLawHelp does have a generic civil answer form - it's the first related link below - but it may not work in all courts. Many courts have their own forms. The second related link below is an example of a court form that is available online. Very few courts have answer forms online.

Use the third related link to find your court - just select your county and find your court on the list that displays for that county. You'll see the court clerk's contact information, and a link to the court's website if it has one. Click the "Online Resources" link under that court; when the Resources page for that court displays, scroll down the page to the Forms category. If the court doesn't have the form available online, contact the court clerk to see if a paper form is available.

Yes, a default judgment can be granted against you in Texas without your knowledge if you do not respond to a lawsuit within the specified time frame.

Is it Missouri law to have a legal form to answer a civil lawsuit?

It's not a "law" to have a legal form to answer a lawsuit in Missouri, at least not in the sense of a statutory law passed by the legislature. But forms are *required* by Court Rules for most types of procedures. If you don't follow the Court Rules for your court, the court may dismiss your case. Each Circuit Court in Missouri has its own set of Court Rules. You can find them at the related link below.

How do you file a lawsuit against someone who is a convicted felon currently on probation for identity theft and grand theft?

First you'll need to do some legal research. Theft is a crime, not a civil dispute. You'll need to find the appropriate civil claim in your jurisdiction. Then you draft the complaint stating a claim and file it with the appropriate court. If you are uncomfortable doing legal research and drafting the complaint on your own, you'll need to hire an attorney.

What is Public Civil Lawsuit?

Hi there! I looked up the phrase "Public Civil Lawsuit" in Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law (FindLaw, 2012) and in the historical dictionary of law (The Constitution Society, 2012) but could not find a match in either one. If this is the case the main FindLaw site has extensive information about civil lawsuits, but feel free to start with this page that defines and explains the basics of civil cases: (FindLaw, 2012). If you find information that seems to be pointing you where you need to go, feel free to find out more about in FindLaw, or find more research and documentation in the LexisNexis database of legal information. This database is subscription use only, but check with your local public and academic libraries (most likely your nearest university) to see if they have subscriptions to provide you access. The librarians there can also give you pointers about searching databases if you haven't used this resource before.
