Tex. R. App. P. 39.7 (2026)

A party desiring oral argument must note that request on the front cover of the party’s brief. If the court sets the case for oral argument, then all parties that filed a brief are entitled to participate in the oral argument, even if a party did not request oral argument on the cover of the party’s brief. The court may direct a party that has not requested argument to appear and argue.
