Texas Supreme Court Orders 1/30/09
The Texas Supreme Court released no new opinions with this week's regular orders. What struck me about these orders is the unusually high number of cases abated in light of bankruptcy proceedings. I suppose that's a sign of the times.
Six abatements, but probably only one bankruptcy. The U.S. subsidiary of chemical company LyondellBasell just went into bankruptcy, and one of its properties (Lyondell-Citgo Refining Co. Ltd., which as I understand it is a refinery) is party to all six cases abated today.
Interesting. Lyondell's involvement isn't obvious from looking at the case styles, but I suppose the fact that all six cases are from Orange County should tell us something.
