Relating to a study on digital court reporting conducted by the Office of Court Administration of the Texas Judicial System.

SB 40 requires the Texas Office of Court Administration to study digital court reporting, which uses technology to record court proceedings verbatim. The study must evaluate current usage in Texas courts (including cost, access, accuracy), analyze how other states use similar technology, and propose legislative changes. The office must submit a report to state leaders by October 1, 2026, and the bill expires September 1, 2027. This bill does not change laws but directs a review of court technology practices.
