We're trying to update our forfeiture discovery and I just dusted off my seldom-used copy of the Rules of Civil Procedure. To my surprise, I no longer see a limit on the number of interrogatories. Am I missing it somewhere? Thanks for any help you can give one who does very little civil work...

They very cleverly moved the interrogatory number limit from the interrogatory rule itself (where it made sense) to the rules concerning discovery control plans. Thus, if your case is controlled by a level 3 discovery control order, the court sets the maximum number of 'rogs. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 190.4. If the court doesn't specifically set its own cap, the default limits apply. See id. at (b). Thus, you're limited to 25 interrogatories (excluding interrogatories that ask only for identification or authentication of specific documents), with each discrete subpart of an interrogatory being considered a separate interrogatory. Tex. R. Civ. P. 190.2(c)(3), 190.3(b)(3).

Scott, the info is very much appreciated!

Don't forget TRCP 194, which allows for a Request for Disclosures, taking the place of about a dozen basic interrogatories. The Request for Disclosures does not count against your interrogatories.
