On June 19, we commemorate Juneteenth, the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their emancipation – more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. #wacotexas #wacotx #Juneteenth

Thursday and Friday are WFAA Weather Alert Days for the potential of accumulating snow. Flurries start as early as Wed night with snow accumulations beginning Thursday. It'll dry out from west to east Friday morning, but travel impacts will likely last through Friday #wfaaweather

It may be an unpopular take with some, but I believe intermediate appellate courts should fill all available oral argument settings. It gives litigants their day in court and helps lawyers gain experience and board certification. There, I said it. #appellatetwitter

The amount of underserved legal needs in Texas is staggering. It would shock people (1) how expensive legal representation can be and (2) how many people can’t afford legal services. I hope #txlege takes note.
"The justice gap--which is a chasm really--is indisputable," explains Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan Hecht. And bridging it requires a bipartisan commitment. Tune into the today's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on #AccessToJustice: judiciary.senate.gov/committ…

Now that the Texas Supreme Court's 2023-24 term just concluded, I thought I would share a little side project I've been working on for the past several months. I decided to track the Court's opinions through a spreadsheet and record some information about them:

Couldn't be happier for newly appointed 15th Court of Appeals Chief Justice Scott Brister and Justices @ScottKingField and @farris_april. If anyone can work up a statewide appellate court from scratch, it's this trio! #appellatetwitter gov.texas.gov/news/post/gove…

While recording a @texapplawpod episode with @jodyssanders and our guest @TylerTalbert today, the question came up about how decisions from the 15th Court of Appeals (a new statewide court sitting in Austin starting up September 1) should be cited. We already have an appellate court in Austin (the 3rd Court of Appeals) that's cited as "(Tex. App.—Austin [date], [history]." With no claim of originality, my initial thought is "(Tex. App.—Austin [15th Dist.] [date], [history]," with the 3rd Court being cited "(Tex. App.—Austin [3rd Dist.] [date], [history]." This would track how we currently handle the 1st and 14th courts, both of which are in Houston. Any other ideas? #appellatetwitter #texasappellatecounsel

Thank you Professor!
This is a fabulous opportunity to work with talented attorneys who also happen to be wonderful people (and I can vouch for the fact that Ryan is great at mentoring junior lawyers!).

Random tip from having done an oral argument this week - and having listening to a few recently. (1) on rebuttal, it's really useful to say how many points you have. (2) You should have 3 points if you can. (3) You can prep "modules" for rebuttal."

By a 4-3 vote, the Colorado Supreme Court has held that former President Trump is *disqualified* from holding future office—and thus cannot be on the presidential ballot in Colorado: courts.state.co.us/userfiles… The ruling is stayed until 1/4—presumably if #SCOTUS wants to step in.
