Revised anti-SLAPP bill passes Texas house

Originally published by David Coale.

A significantly limited new version of the TCPA has passed the Texas House; a similar version is still pending in the Senate. The bill addresses several aspects of the statute’s application in business cases. While the lingering Erie issue about the TCPA’s application in federal court remains, the issue will have less ongoing significance if the Legislature reduces this statute’s force in commercial litigation.
