You have received an opinion of the Court that the case is a list of test cases for two weeks in June In Harris County, the tests are provided in an agenda for two weeks from Monday and the case could actually be called a trial period. The date has not been a test configuration hard and fast, but you can probably expect that the case is really assigned at the time. A test of "substance" means just that. Presence of both parties on the merits of their positions at trial. Without seeing what the opinion other is that I can not really say, because the court may dismiss a case for a number of different reasons. I think in this case are probably say that if the applicant does not appear for the test or other judicial aspect notified (ie, a hearing or call the file), the Court classified the case.
