Legislative Watch 2009

Posted on January 13, 2009 by D. Todd Smith

Today marks the beginning of the 81st Texas Legislature.  A number of bills that would affect litigators and appellate practitioners are expected, many of which failed to pass during the last session.

I will be keeping an eye on noteworthy bills as they are introduced and will comment on them as my workload permits.  With the House relatively balanced among party lines and a change in Speaker, we could be in for an interesting time.

I have heard faint whispers of legislative changes with regards to getting rid of or reducing existing tort reform. Have you heard anything along these lines?

Faint whispers is about all I've heard on that front. I think we'll have to watch and wait.
