Relating to the stay of proceedings pending an interlocutory appeal of a denial of a motion to dismiss in an action involving the exercise of certain constitutional rights.

HB 2459 modifies Texas court procedures for cases involving constitutional rights. It requires a trial to pause (stay) for 61 days after a motion to dismiss is denied if the court's order cites specific reasons like untimely filing, statutory exemption, or frivolous intent. For other denial reasons or unstated orders, the pause continues until the appeal concludes. This applies only to denials occurring on or after September 1, 2025, and affects parties in civil lawsuits where constitutional rights are central to the case.
