  In this paper we continue the study of triangular matrix categories
$\mathbf{\Lambda}=\left[ \begin{smallmatrix} \mathcal{T} & 0 \\ M & \mathcal{U}
\end{smallmatrix}\right]$ initiated in [21]. First, given an additive category
$\mathcal{C}$ and an ideal $\mathcal{I}_{\mathcal{B}}$ in $\mathcal{C}$, we
prove a well known result that there is a canonical recollement
$\xymatrix{\mathrm{Mod}(\mathcal{C}/\mathcal{I}_{\mathcal{B}})\ar[r]_{} &
\mathrm{Mod}(\mathcal{C})\ar[r]_{}\ar@<-1ex>[l]_{}\ar@<1ex>[l]_{} &
\mathrm{Mod}(\mathcal{B})\ar@<-1ex>[l]_{}\ar@<1ex>[l]_{}}$. We show that given
a recollement between functor categories we can induce a new recollement
between triangular matrix categories, this is a generalization of a result
given by Chen and Zheng in [11, theorem 4.4]. In the case of dualizing
$K$-varieties we can restrict the recollement we obtained to the categories of
finitely presented functors. Given a dualizing variety $\mathcal{C}$, we
describe the maps category of $\mathrm{mod}(\mathcal{C})$ as modules over a
triangular matrix category and we study its Auslander-Reiten sequences and
contravariantly finite subcategories, in particular we generalize several
results from [24]. Finally, we prove a generalization of a result due to
{Smal\o} ([35, Theorem 2.1]), which give us a way of construct functorially
finite subcategories in the category $\mathrm{Mod}\Big(\left[
\begin{smallmatrix} \mathcal{T} & 0 \\ M & \mathcal{U}
\end{smallmatrix}\right]\Big)$ from those of $\mathrm{Mod}(\mathcal{T})$ and
$\mathrm{Mod}(\mathcal{U})$.
