Why a blog focused on the Supreme Court of Texas?
“[L]et me say this clean, clear, hard, and unmistakably: The job of an appellate argument is to win a particular case before a particular tribunal, for a particular client. And, since that is so, it begins with the tribunal. Long before the case comes into your office, you should have been studying that tribunal, indeed any appellate tribunal before whom you may have a case to argue. It is that tribunal’s view of the facts which will control. It is that tribunal’s view of the authorities which will control. It isn’t yours.”

The Texas Supreme Court has the final say on the questions of contract law, tort law, insurance law, family law, and property law in Texas.
