HB 2760 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to judicial review of a Texas Workforce Commission decision in an unemployment compensation proceeding.

HB 2760 clarifies the court process for challenging unemployment benefit decisions by the Texas Workforce Commission. It requires people or businesses disagreeing with a final ruling to file a lawsuit in a county court at law or district court within 14 days of the decision becoming final. The bill specifically replaces vague language about "court of competent jurisdiction" with clear court options, making the filing process more predictable. This change applies only to cases where the commission's decision becomes final on or after September 1, 2025.
