Senate Bill 735 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to authorize a trial court, on the motion of a party and after notice and a hearing, to authorize discovery of evidence of a defendant’s net worth if the court finds in a written order that the claimant has demonstrated a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of a claim for exemplary damages. The bill sets out provisions regarding the submission and review of such evidence.
