Relating to a no-evidence motion for summary judgment.
HB 2100 amends Texas law to clarify that courts must consider **all evidence on record** when ruling on a "no-evidence motion for summary judgment" in civil cases. This procedural change directly affects **civil litigants and courts** handling summary judgment motions where a party claims the opposing side lacks evidence to support their claim. The bill requires courts to evaluate all submitted evidence, not just the evidence presented by the moving party, and applies to motions pending or filed on or after its effective date (September 1, 2025). It does not alter substantive legal standards but streamlines the procedural review process.
