Sec. 2001.175.  PROCEDURES FOR REVIEW UNDER SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE RULE OR UNDEFINED SCOPE OF REVIEW.

The record shall be filed with the clerk of the court.  The record may be shortened by stipulation of all parties to the review proceedings.

The agency may change its findings and decision by reason of the additional evidence and shall file the additional evidence and any changes, new findings, or decisions with the reviewing court.(d)  The party seeking judicial review shall offer, and the reviewing court shall admit, the state agency record into evidence as an exhibit.(e)  A court shall conduct the review sitting without a jury and is confined to the agency record, except that the court may receive evidence of procedural irregularities alleged to have occurred before the agency that are not reflected in the record.|Added by Acts 1993, 73rd Leg., ch. 268, Sec. 1, eff.
