If the Supreme Court agrees to answer the questions certified to it, the Court will notify all parties and the certifying court. The Supreme Court clerk must also send a notice to the Attorney General of Texas if:
-
(a) the constitutionality of a Texas statute is the subject of a certified question that the Supreme Court has agreed to answer; and
-
(b) the State of Texas or an officer, agency, or employee of the state is not a party to the proceeding in the certifying court.
