Tex. R. App. P. 43.3
Rendition Appropriate Unless Remand Necessary
When reversing a trial court's judgment, the court
must render the judgment that the trial court should
have rendered, except when:
(a) a remand is necessary for further
proceedings; or
(b) the interests of justice require a remand for
another trial.
History
Notes and Comments Comment to 1997 changes: Former Rules 80(a) - (c) and 82 are merged. Paragraph 43.2(e) allows the court of appeals to vacate the trial court’s judgment and dismiss the case; paragraph 43.2(f) allows the court of appeals to dismiss the appeal. Both provisions are new but codify current practice. Paragraph 43.3(a) is moved here from former Rule 81(c). Paragraph 43.3(b), allowing a remand in the interest of justice, is new. Subdivisions 43.4 and 43.5 are from former Rule 82.
