Tex. R. App. P. 73.8 (2026)

The Texas Rules of Evidence apply to a hearing held on a postconviction application for a writ of habeas corpus filed under Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.07 or 11.071.

Notes and Comments

Comment to 2019 change: Rule 73.8 is added to clarify that the Rules of Evidence apply in hearings held in Article 11.07 and 11.071 habeas corpus cases. This rule does not limit the ability of an applicant to attach supporting documents to an application for a writ of habeas corpus.
