34 Tex. Admin. Code § 1.376 - Conduct of Mediation
(a) Mediation is a
consensual process in which an impartial third party, the mediator, facilitates
communication among the parties to promote reconciliation, settlement, or
mutual understanding. A mediator may not impose his own judgment on the issues,
for that of the parties. Both parties must agree to the selection of the
particular mediator who is to administer the process.
(b) The mediation is subject to the
provisions of the Governmental Dispute Resolution Act, Government Code, Chapter
2009. For purposes of this subchapter, "mediation" is assigned the meaning that
is described in Civil Practice and Remedies Code, §
154.023.
(c) To facilitate a meaningful opportunity
for settlement, the parties shall, to the extent possible, select
representatives who are knowledgeable about the dispute, are in a position to
reach agreement, and can credibly recommend approval of an agreement.
