The 2026 Summary Judgment Revolution in Texas

Effective March 1, 2026, the Texas Supreme Court has completely rewritten Rule 166a, changing the fundamental “rhythm” of Texas litigation. Deadlines no longer look backward from the hearing date; they now look forward from the filing date. Pro se litigants must now file their “Response” within 21 days of the motion being filed—regardless of when the hearing is set. Failure to comply with the new titling requirements (e.g., “Traditional” vs “No-Evidence”) will result in your filing being returned.
