What are the odds of the judge changing the ruling?

Lived with this person for 14 years in Texas, everything in my name, he filed petition for divorce. No agreement to be married and he admitted twice to that under oath. Judge dismissed it. The motion for the hearing has now been set. Again what are the odds the judge will change her ruling? Also this person has not filed a tax return in 20 years, not that it has any influence on this case.

Judges very seldom change their minds about a case...Makes them look bad to other Judges!

The judge can reconsider her ruling, if the motion to reconsider is brought within the proper time, as defined by the local/state rules of procedure applicable for that court.
It is very uncommon for the judge to change their mind, but it can happen depending on the reasons and arguments set forth in the motion. And whether the judge does or does not reconsider, there is always the possibility of a formal appeal.
I also heartily second what chslaw (above) said. You should never rely on information gained from random anonymous people on the internet, and only a licensed attorney should be giving legal advice or telling you what you should do in a particular situation.

It is quite impossible to answer your question without more information. First of all, what type of proceeding was it? What state? What type of ruling?
I'm an attorney in California. I have noticed lots of really bad information given in response to questions asked here. Unless the person is an attorney in your state or has first hand experience with your issue, you are better off seeing a location attorney.
You simply haven't provide enough information for someone to give you a constructive answer.

Ruling is not final for a period of time, say 10 days.
Change of ruling upon reconsideration is very rare. Usually where there has been a clear mistake of fact or law.
