Rule 190.2 is amended to implement Texas Government Code Section 22.004(h-1), which requires rules «to promote the immediate, efficient, and cost-effective resolution of civil actions brought in district courts where the value of the claim does not exceed $250,000,» which «balances the need to reduce the cost of discovery in these proceedings with the complexity and necessity of discovery in such actions.» Under amended Rule 190.2, Level 1 restrictions now apply to a broader subset of civil actions: accelerated actions under Rule 169, which is also amended to implement Section 22.004(h-1) of the Texas Government Code, and divorces involving no children, where the value of the matrimonial estate does not exceed $250,000. Level 1 restrictions will be revised to establish a twenty-hour limit for oral testimony. Requests for disclosure under Rule 190.2(b)(6) and Rule 194 are now replaced by disclosures required under Rule 194, as amended. The disclosure deadlines in Rules 190.2(b)(1) and 190.3(b)(1) are revised to reflect the disclosures required.
