Prejudgment interest — common law Prejudgment interest — statutory or contract Postjudgment interest Attorney fees Equitable Relief ¶Sure, let’s go ahead and structure your paragraphs according to your specifications. Please note that the legal specifics, such as whether equitable relief is applicable and which specific relief is sought, depend on the details of your case and applicable legal statutes. Assuming the last paragraph in the previous section ends at 6.5, the paragraphs here would be numbered as follows: **7.1** [Draft the content for this paragraph related to the cause of action.] **7.2** [Draft the content for this paragraph related to the cause of action.] **7.3** [Draft the content for this paragraph related to the cause of action.] **7.4** [Continue drafting as necessary.] **Equitable Relief Section** If your causes of action allow for equitable relief under Tex. R. Civ. P. and other applicable authorities, it might look like this: **7.5 Equitable Relief Sought** Plaintiff seeks [specific equitable relief, e.g., an injunction, specific performance, etc.]. [State facts supporting equitable relief, e.g., explain how there’s no adequate remedy at law and why the equitable relief is necessary, supported by facts from the case.] Please ensure legal content such as the “Legal Authority:85” placeholder is filled with the correct information from the appropriate legal resources, and consult legal counsel for personalized drafting of the content based upon the specifics of your case and applicable legal principles. Jury Demand ¶Sure, I can assist with that. Since we are continuing the numbering after 7.5, the next paragraph should be numbered 7.6: **7.6** Plaintiff demands a jury trial and tenders the appropriate fee with this petition. Conditions Precedent ¶Certainly! Continuing the numbering from 7.6, the next paragraph would be: **7.7** All conditions precedent to plaintiff’s claim for relief have been performed or have occurred. Objection to Associate Judge ¶Certainly! Continuing with the numbering sequence from the previous paragraphs, this paragraph would be numbered as follows: **7.8** Plaintiff objects to the referral of this case to an associate judge for hearing a trial on the merits or presiding at a jury trial. Prayer ¶It seems you’ve outlined a structured prayer for relief in a civil petition under Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, and you’re looking to understand how to categorize and specifically plead various types of damages. Since you haven’t listed the specific causes of action you’re alleging, I’ll provide a general framework for constructing your prayer based on common types of claims and damages. Please fill in the details of your actual claims and reference the specific relief as necessary. ### Proposed Prayer Framework #### Introductory Statement “For these reasons, plaintiff asks that the Court issue citation for defendant to appear and answer, and that plaintiff be awarded a judgment against defendant for the following:” #### Alphabetical List of Requested Relief – **a. Actual Damages** – Specify the nature of the actual damages based on your claims. For example, if pursuing personal injury: – Past pain and suffering – Past mental anguish – Physical disfigurement – Aggravation of preexisting condition – For damages such as future pain and suffering or future mental anguish, specify the exact form of damage in your allegation. – **b. Equitable Relief** – Describe any specific equitable relief being sought, such as injunctions or declaratory judgments. – **c. Exemplary Damages** – If pursuing exemplary damages, state the grounds. For example, for gross negligence or malicious conduct. – Reference Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 41.003 for claiming exemplary damages. – **d. Prejudgment and Postjudgment Interest** – Plead for “prejudgment interest in accordance with applicable common law or statute” and “postjudgment interest as provided by law.” – **e. Court Costs** – “All costs of court.” – **f. Attorney Fees** – Specify under what statute or contract you are seeking attorney fees. This needs to be specifically pled. For example, claim as per Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Chapter 38 for contract claims. – **g. Other Relief** – “All other relief to which plaintiff is entitled.” ### Special Damages Detail For any special damages that need specific pleading, such as future medical expenses or loss of future earning capacity, provide precise allegations supporting the claim. This includes quantifiable financial impacts, explanations of medical costs, or detailed losses due to impaired earning capacity. ### Suggesting Additional Relief If your causes of action include any mentioned such as breach of contract, assault, defamation, invasion of privacy, or trespass, consider also pleading for: – **Nominal Damages** – If pursuing a cause such as breach of contract or defamation, “nominal damages in recognition of the harm suffered.” ### Tailoring Your Petition Add or remove specific categories of damages and relief based on the substantive claims you are pleading. Ensure each claim in your petition is accompanied by allegations that substantiate and justify the relief requested. Check the alignment of the relief with your factual allegations and legal theories. Consult the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and applicable case law for precise guidance and compliance. If you provide more specifics on the causes of action, I can offer a more tailored prayer for relief.This field is hidden when viewing the formDate of Service AI Δ
