The rules of court differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction -- even within the same state -- but ALL jurisdictions provide for what is known as "the discovery process".

Once a civil suit is filed by a plaintiff, served against the defendant, and answered by the defendant, both parties begin the discovery-phase of the lawsuit. In the discovery phase, various documents (called "pleadings") are filed that require the party upon whom they are served to provide the requesting party with answers to questions and/or provide tangible evidence (like documents).

If, at trial, the other party "suddenly" has evidence that was not provided to the opposing party during the discovery phase, they risk having that evidence thrown out of court for failing to provide timely notice to opposing counsel, etc.

It's a complex system that is best handled by an attorney.

Can the Colorado DMV revoke a Texas drivers license?

The only way it could be mandated is if you have a CDL. If you don't have one, they can't, although they can send a request to the DMV in Texas to do so. Whether or not Texas complies is up to them. Additionally, the Department of Revenue (it's not the DMV in Colorado) can suspend your driving privilege in the state of Colorado, meaning you won't be permitted to drive in the state of Colorado.

At what age can a child refuse to follow the custody schedule in Texas?

18. Until that age, the court order must be followed. The child does not have the option of refusing. If there is a *legitimate* reason that the child does not want to have contact with the parent, then you need to go back to court and request that the court order be modified.
