Venue is the proper geographical location (precinct) in which a lawsuit may be filed. To

determine proper venue in a case, one can file a lawsuit in the justice court precinct where the

defendant resides or does business OR the justice court precinct where the incident occurred that

brought about the debt or where the debt or obligation was incurred.

A motion for change of venue for improper venue must be filed PRIOR to filing an answer in the

case, or else venue is waived. A motion for change of venue is filed to allege the lawsuit was

filed in the wrong justice court precinct. However, venue may be proper in more than one justice

court precinct. If the court grants the motion for change of venue the case will be transferred to

the proper justice court.

The defendant must pay the answer fee for a small claims or a civil case (depending on which

type of case) when a motion for change of venue for improper venue is filed. The defendant

filing the motion for change of venue must mail/deliver a copy of the motion as well as a blank

copy of the Plaintiff’s Controverting Certificate Re: Affidavit for Change of Venue for Improper

Venue to the plaintiff.

If the plaintiff opposes this motion, they may file an objection in writing within five (5) business

days after service of the motion.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Complete the form and make copies. The court will require the original form and you

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ALL PARTIES KEEP THE COURT APPRISED OF ANY

CHANGE IN ADDRESS. A Notice of Change of Address form must be filed with the court

when a party changes their address.
