If you are in a civil case and you have evidence do you have to submit it prior to the hearing or not?
It depends on what court you are in. Small claims is civil court too. But usually there is only one hearing and everyone brings their evidence to court that day and makes their case.





In other civil courts, you may have to submit evidence before a hearing if you are making or replying to a motion of some sort, such as a request for a restraining order or a motion for summary judgment.





If you are involved in a lawsuit in Texas that is not small claims, get a lawyer to help you.

Way before trial, ';discovery'; takes place - you submit the evidence during the discovery process.
