Tex. R. App. P. 72.2 (2026)

If five judges tentatively believe that the case should be filed and set for submission, the motion for leave will be granted and the case will then be handled and disposed of in accordance with Rule 52.8. If the motion for leave is denied, no motions for rehearing or reconsideration will be entertained. But the Court may, on its own initiative, reconsider a denial of a motion for leave.

Notes and Comments

Comment to 1997 change: This is former Rule 211. The rule is amended to include all the Court’s jurisdiction of extraordinary matters. Internal procedures of the Court are deleted. Other nonsubstantive changes are made.
