Tex. R. App. P. 31.3
Orders on Appeal
The appellate court will render whatever
judgment and make whatever orders the law and the
nature of the case require. The court may make an
appropriate order relating to costs, whether allowing
costs and fixing the amount, or allowing no costs.
History
Notes and Comments Comment to 1997 change: This is former Rule 44. Since the purpose of the appeal is to do substantial justice, it is extended to both parties in recognition that both parties now have the right to appeal. Other nonsubstantive changes are made. Comment to 2025 change: New Rule 31.8 is added to implement the amendments to Article 44.01 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
