(a) Promulgation. A court of appeals may promulgate rules and forms governing its practice that are not inconsistent with state or federal law or rules adopted by the Supreme Court or the Court of Criminal Appeals. To be effective, local rules and forms must be published on the Office of Court Administration’s website.
(b) Party’s Noncompliance. A court must not dismiss an appeal due to a party’s failure to comply with a local rule or form without giving the noncomplying party notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure the noncompliance.
