Mr Brooks was listed to appear in the Redcliffe Magistrates Court, near Brisbane, on Thursday morning and was expected to enter pleas on charges relating to possession of weapons, tainted property and fraudulent identity documents.
He has also been charged with breaching the conditions of his bail.
However, defence lawyer Brendan Beavon said on Thursday Mr Brooks was not required to appear in person and no pleas were entered on this occasion.
Mr Beavon, of Russo Lawyers, said prosecution had not yet provided the full brief of evidence required for Mr Brooks to enter a plea.
The lawyer said it was possible Mr Brooks would plead guilty to charges relating to the alleged unlawful possession of a handgun.
Mr Beavon said Mr Brooks intended to plead not guilty to the balance of the charges and they would therefore go to hearing.
A charge of dealing with identity documents was withdrawn in July, but Mr Beavon said prosecutors had now charged Mr Brooks with three counts of unlawful possession of an article resembling a licence.
Mr Brooks' matter was adjourned to October 14 in the Redcliffe Magistrates Court.
Mr Brooks was elected to parliament in the May election, but it was announced by Premier Peter Gutwein on the day polls were declared in Braddon that he would not take his seat.
