Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 134A.0065: TUTSA sealing procedure
TUTSA section 134A.0065 provides a sealing procedure for trade secrets in Texas courts.
Citation: Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 134A.0065
Type: Statute
Jurisdiction: Texas
Issuing body: Texas Legislature
Status: In force; applies to TUTSA actions on and after September 1, 2025
For actions under the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act, H.B. 4081 created a separate sealing process in section 134A.0065, effective September 1, 2025. A party files a notice of sealing and an affidavit describing the information and the factual basis for treating it as a trade secret. An order granting or denying a motion to unseal is treated as a severed final judgment that any participant in the hearing may appeal under subsection (j). The procedure applies only in Texas courts, not to DTSA claims in federal court.
