2026 EDITION HIGHLIGHTS
What’s New in This Edition
This year’s edition of O’Connor’s Texas Rules ✯ Civil Trials has been updated to reflect 2025 rule, case-law, and legislative changes. We have also revised and reorganized parts of the commentaries to improve clarity and add further explanation. Here are some of the changes we made this year:
• We revised “Generally,” ch. 2-B, § 4.2.1(2)(a)[1], to discuss the requirements for a shareholder to have standing to sue on behalf of a corporation based on the 2025 legislative amendments to Tex. Bus. Orgs. Code § 21.552.
• We extensively revised and reorganized “Business court,” ch. 2-G, § 3.2.3, to discuss the 2025 legislative changes related to the jurisdiction of the business court.
• We revised the discussion in “No purposeful availment,” ch. 3-B, § 2.4.2(1), to include Hyundam Indus. Co. v. Swacina, 716 S.W.3d 167 (Tex.2025), and BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG v. Shaik, 716 S.W.3d 98 (Tex.2025), in which the Supreme Court addressed the stream-of-commerce analysis for determining whether a court has specific jurisdiction over a defendant.
• We revised and reorganized “What is not a legal action,” ch. 3-K, § 2.1.1(2), to include recent holdings on what constitutes a “legal action” for purposes of the Texas Citizens Participation Act.
• We revised and reorganized “Deadline,” ch. 3-K, § 7.1, to clarify that the 30-day deadline for ruling on an anti-SLAPP motion does not affect the trial court’s power to reconsider its ruling and that the court has the power to reconsider regardless of whether the motion to dismiss was timely ruled on or was denied by operation of law based on First Sabrepoint Capital Mgmt. v. Farmland Partners, 712 S.W.3d 75 (Tex.2025).
• We added “Sealing court documents containing trade secrets under CPRC § 134A.0065,” ch. 5-L, § 9, to explain the procedures for sealing and unsealing court documents containing alleged trade secrets in suits under the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act based on the 2025 enactment of CPRC § 134A.0065.
• We revised “Technology-assisted review,” ch. 6-C, § 5.2, to provide an updated discus-sion of how to use technology-assisted review (TAR) in conducting electronic discovery.
• We added “Deposition in Texas for use in proceeding in another state,” ch. 6-F, § 19, to discuss newly enacted TRCP 201.3, which adopted a modified version of the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act.
• We revised “Motion to strike deemed admissions,” ch. 6-H, § 7.2.2, to discuss the required showings to have deemed admissions struck based on In re Euless Pizza, LP, 702 S.W.3d 543 (Tex.2024).
• We revised “Attached,” ch. 7-B, § 9.1.3, to clarify that summary-judgment evidence that is already part of the record does not have to be attached to the motion or re-sponse as long as the party affirmatively points out the evidence to the court in the motion or response based on Kuo v. Regions Bank, — S.W.3d —, 2025 WL 2881875 (Tex.2025) (No. 24-1039; 10-10-25), and State v. $3,774.28, 713 S.W.3d 381 (Tex.2025).
• We added “Deadline,” ch. 7-B, § 11.1.2, and “Deadline to rule,” ch. 7-B, § 12.2, to discuss the deadlines for setting a hearing date and for ruling on a motion for sum-mary judgment based on the 2025 enactment of Gov’t Code § 23.303.
• We revised “Review,” ch. 8-A, § 11, to clarify how the court evaluates error related to jury selection.
