As amended through August 27, 2024
Rule 9.4 - Audio Recordings

The Court makes audio recordings of oral argument for its own use. However, a party may purchase a copy of the recording from the Clerk. The Court does not guarantee the recording will be clear or audible, and the Court will generally not grant a rehearing because the recording is not clear or audible.

Tex. 4th. Ct. App. L. R. 9.4

Notes & Comments: If oral argument is waived, a case may receive expedited consideration. If an issue or point of error raised in a brief is not discussed at argument, the Court will nonetheless consider the issue or point of error preserved for appellate review. If an attorney or party intends to cite a case that is not contained in the briefs, the attorney or party should provide a copy of the case to the Clerk and opposing counsel before argument. The Court monitors the time during oral argument.
