As predicted, the Texas Supreme Court issued a monster set of orders today, releasing opinions in 22 cases (two of which were merely corrected or supplemental opinons in previously decided cases). As has been the trend recently, the Court moved some of its older pending matters, including two with “04” docket numbers.
Time is short as we head into Labor Day weekend, so I will not be able to blurb all of these cases today. Click here to review Osler McCarthy’s detailed summaries.
In case you’re wondering, today’s output but does not set a record. Officially, the Court issued 35 written opinions (including non-majority writings) in 20 cases today. According to Osler, the record is 36 writings in 24 cases, set July 9, 1997—coincidentally, the last regular set of orders issued before I completed my clerkship with the Court.
