Terms Used In Texas Labor Code 61.0612

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.

The commission may:
(1) on its own motion:
(A) affirm, modify, or set aside an order issued under Section 61.061 on the basis of the evidence previously submitted in the case; or
(B) direct the taking of additional evidence; or
(2) permit any of the parties affected by the order to initiate a further appeal before the commission.
