is based on Section 20.002 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code

Comment to 2025 change: New Rule 201.3 is based on the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act, in accordance with Section 1 of the Act of May 21, 2023, 88th Leg., R.S., ch. 616 (H.B. 3929). The Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act is adopted as modified by new Rule 201.3. The modification excludes that Act’s provisions permitting premises inspection by subpoena, retaining the Texas rule requiring a court order for premises inspections for both in- state and out-of-state litigation. Other clarifying and stylistic changes have been made. [RULE 202. Repealed effective January 1, 1999; see, Rules 199.1 and 203.6]
