Revised TRAP Amendments Effective Today

Posted on September 1, 2008 by D. Todd Smith

Following up on this post, the Texas Supreme Court has quietly issued orders formally amending the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure and making technical corrections to the amendments.  

The amendments went into effect today.  A redline comparison of the proposed changes and the final version is available here.

The most significant change from the proposed amendments announced in March appears to be a newly restructured Rule 28, which governs accelerated appeals.  Rather than trump statutory perfection deadlines, the revision clarifies (through the comment to the 2008 changes) that any statutory deadlines will control.

Special thanks to Lisa Hobbs for bringing these orders to my attention.
