This week's Texas Lawyer contains the third article in my series on technology issues and law practice, "How Lawyers Can Avoid Social Media Burnout" (subscription required).  As the title suggests, the article discusses some ways in which lawyers delving into social media for business development can deal with the overabundance of information thrown at them.  I hope readers find it useful.

10/21 Update:  Law.com has picked up the article, which is now available here.

Today's Austin Chronicle reports on the race between Kurt Kuhn (D) and Melissa Goodwin (R) for an open seat on the Third Court of Appeals.  For several election cycles, only a few percentage points have separated the major-party candidates in contested elections to the Third Court.  Expect this race to be no different.

Meanwhile, Governor Perry apparently will wait until after the election to appoint former Justice Alan Waldrop's successor.  If Kuhn wins, would Perry to appoint Goodwin to fill Waldrop's spot?  At this point, we can only speculate.

The State Bar of Texas Appellate Section (@TexAppOrg) and the Austin Bar Civil Appellate Law Section (@CivAppLaw), have launched their own Twitter feeds.  The idea is to provide current and prospective members another way to keep up with section news, announcements, and events.  If you're on Twitter and interested in either organization, I would encourage you to follow them.
