How does consolidation work when multiple cases are filed in Texas courts?

Question

Accepted Answer

This question has been addressed in 2 Texas court opinion(s), including Pena v. The State of Texas. When multiple legal matters are heard in a single trial, always audit the clerk’s bill of costs to ensure you aren't being double-charged for administrative fees. Furthermore, if a party has filed a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs (Rule 145), they are generally shielded from paying attorney's fees unless the opposing party can prove a material improvement in their financial situation.
