What is a deposition transcript?

A deposition transcript is a document that records the testimony of participants in a court trial. The transcript is typically taken by a court reporter, who records the testimony of witnesses, attorneys, and other individuals involved in the trial. The transcript is usually filed with the court and can be used as evidence in the case. In Texas, depositions are taken under oath and the transcript is often relied upon to settle legal disputes or to act as a source of evidence in a court proceeding. Additionally, if a witness is unavailable or unwilling to testify at trial, the deposition transcript can serve as the witness’s testimony. Finally, a deposition transcript may be used to impeach a witness’s credibility or to clarify ambiguous statements made in the trial.
