A public hearing for H.B. 2696 is scheduled to take place today. The bill would, among other things, prohibit one contracting party from requiring the other party to agree to arbitration as a condition of the contract. It also provides that an agreement is unconscionable if its enforceability would violate a right protected by either the U.S. or Texas Constitutions. In addition, an agreement to arbitrate must be displayed prominently in 12-point bold type. The status of this bill can be found here.
