Last month we reported on House Bill 2488, which would permit Contested Case Hearings within the Division by Zoom conference or other forms of remote communication.  The bill passed the Senate in May 2025 and was signed into law by Governor Abbott on June 24.  Remote hearings can be held only at the agreement of the parties, or if there is a determination that good cause exists for the proceeding to be conducted that way.
