House Bill 214 amends the Government Code to require the Texas Supreme Court and the Court of Criminal Appeals to make a video recording or other electronic visual and audio recording of each oral argument and public meeting of the court and post the recording on the court's website, but only if the legislature appropriates money specifically for that purpose. If the legislature does not make such an appropriation, the courts may, but are not required to, implement the bill using other appropriations available for the purpose.
