I am trying to figure out what a declaratory judgment looks like - i.e. perhaps examples of explaratory judgments issued by actual courts.
This involves a civil case in which I am the plaintiff against a defendant who moved into a house I own in Austin Texas, claiming to be the owner. So far all court decisions have been favorable to me. I have obtained - with help of counsel - a Temporary Injunction requiring her to vacate the property. When she failed to move out I had her cited in contempt of court. She was forcibly removed from the property by the police and informed she would be arrested if she tried to break into it again.
Because of the high costs of lawsuits I would like to represent myself on the final hearing, where I will be petitioning the court to issue a Declaratory judgment establishing: 1/ that Plaintiff is the legal owner of the property; 2/ that Defendant has no legal right to ownership or occupancy of said property.
The state of Texas does not allow paralegals to work with individuals and I was not able to locate actual court orders issuing declaratory judgments. If I had samples of declaratory judgments (not the original petition, actual judgments), I would be able to use them as prototypes or models to type the orders I hope the judge will agree to sign. Can anyone here help or provide links or references?
In short, I am trying to learn how to do the paperwork!
