Previous law required a trial court in a civil proceeding to award costs and reasonable and necessary attorney's fees to the prevailing party when granting or denying a motion to dismiss a cause of action that has no basis in law or fact. House Bill 3300 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to make the award of such costs and fees by the trial court discretionary.
