HB 2799 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the exclusion of certain cases from judicial statistics reporting, court performance measures, or other judicial or court efficiency reporting by the Texas Judicial Council and the Office of Court Administration of the Texas Judicial System.

HB 2799 requires Texas courts to exclude family law cases and civil cases in counties with populations of two million or more from monthly judicial statistics and annual court efficiency reports. This affects the Texas Judicial Council and Office of Court Administration, which collect and publish these reports. The bill amends existing laws to remove specific case types from required reporting metrics, including monthly activity data and annual performance measures like case clearance rates. It does not change how courts handle these cases, only how their data is reported. The exclusion applies uniformly to all affected case types in designated counties.
