Relating to the authority of an appellate court to issue temporary orders in connection with an interlocutory appeal.

SB 1292 amends Texas law to clarify that appellate courts can request trial courts to assist in gathering evidence, making factual findings, and providing recommendations when deciding whether to issue temporary orders during an ongoing civil appeal (interlocutory appeal). This change directly affects parties in civil cases who seek temporary protections - such as preserving property or restraining orders - while their appeal is pending. The key mechanism allows appellate courts to formally collaborate with trial courts to evaluate the necessity of temporary orders before a final appeal decision. The bill does not change substantive rights but streamlines the procedural process for preserving parties' legal positions during lengthy appeals.
