TX SB336

Modifies procedures for stays of trial court proceedings during interlocutory appeals of denied motions to dismiss under Texas's anti-SLAPP law (Chapter 27, involving exercise of constitutional rights like free speech)

Creates a 61-day automatic stay when a motion to dismiss is denied for specific procedural reasons: being untimely filed, the action being exempt under Section 27.010(a), or the motion being found frivolous or solely intended to delay

Provides for a full stay of all proceedings pending appeal resolution when the motion is denied for reasons other than the three procedural grounds listed, or when the denial order does not state a reason

Allows courts of appeals to extend the 61-day stay upon determining the appellant is likely to succeed on the merits or in the interest of justice

Applies only to motions to dismiss denied on or after the effective date, with immediate effect if passed by two-thirds vote of both chambers, otherwise September 1, 2025
