H.B. No. 2760 amends Section 212.201(a) of the Labor Code to specify that a party aggrieved by a final decision of the Texas Workforce Commission may seek judicial review in a county court at law or district court, rather than in a court of competent jurisdiction. This change clarifies the venues available for judicial review of unemployment compensation decisions made by the commission. The bill stipulates that the judicial review must be initiated on or after the date the decision becomes final and within 14 days of that date. The provisions of this Act apply only to decisions that become final on or after its effective date, which is set for September 1, 2025. Any decisions that become final before this date will continue to be governed by the previous law, ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining the legal framework for earlier cases.
