Tex. R. App. P. 2
As amended through February 20, 2024
On a party's motion or on its own initiative an appellate court may - to expedite a decision or for other good cause - suspend a rule's operation in a particular case and order a different procedure; but a court must not construe this rule to suspend any provision in the Code of Criminal Procedure or to alter the time for perfecting an appeal in a civil case.
Tex. R. App. P. 2
