BLAWG ON TEXAS CAUSES OF ACTION & POINTS OF LAW

Ready reference tool for Texas causes of action and defenses clipped from recent court of appeals opinions. For additional information on other pages, follow legal topic tags below individual posts, click hot-linked terms or phrases within posts, or enter your own search terms and/or phrases in the search box under the masthead and press return.

At the minimum, source opinions from which case-law excerpts are taken are identified by court of appeal's location, appellate cause number and opinion release date. This info is sufficient to find the case dockets and opinions on the web sites of the courts of appeals, which can be accessed through the Texas judiciary's website at http://www.courts.state.tx.us/. Please note that some courts, including the Texas Supreme Court, now release opinions only in pdf format. Many opinions can (later) be found on Google Scholar.

Some of the posts here offer summaries, commentary, and other material. Summaries are drafted with an eye on capturing web traffic through key words (SEO), and on occasion paraphrase verbiage appearing in court opinions, using lay person's language (aka plain English). Do not rely on summaries as a substitute for reading opinions on the Texas judiciary website, in the Southwestern Reporter (if/when they are published) or opinions made available by commercial services such as Westlaw or Lexis-Nexis.

Please be advised that the info presented here does not substitute for competent legal research and professional legal advice from a licensed Texas attorney. No warranty for accuracy, timeliness, or completeness is given. Nor should any be implied. Caveat web user!
