SB 2468 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the conduct by electronic means of certain uncontested hearings.

SB 2468 allows Texas courts to conduct certain uncontested civil hearings electronically - such as preliminary matters, agreement approvals, or witness testimony - when all parties agree and the court approves. It permits methods like videoconferencing or teleconferencing, provided the technology can record the proceedings visually and audibly. This bill directly affects parties in civil cases where hearings are uncontested and the court chooses to use electronic means. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not change substantive legal requirements.
