Did you know this TRAP?

Originally published by David Coale.

This is a cross-post from 600 Commerce, which follows the Dallas Court of Appeals.

The coronavirus situation has prompted review of once-obscure statutes and rules; among them, Tex. R. App. 17, which addresses where to go if the ordinarily-assigned court of appeals is unavailable. Surprisingly, Rule 17.2 sends the relevant party to the nearest alternative court of appeals, measured by distance from the trial court.  For courts in the Dallas district, then, that could be Fort Worth, Waco, Tyler, or Texarkana.
