The Texas Supreme Court did not issue any opinions or grant any new cases for oral argument with today’s orders list.
Today marks Justice Wainwright’s last Friday on the Court. Some court watchers have been asking me if there might be one more opinion that he wanted to put his signature on. Justice Wainwright’s last four signed opinions were issued on August 31, 2012:
- the 6-3 decision in Hearts Bluff Game Ranch, Inc. v. The State of Texas and the Texas Water Development Board, No. 10-0491
-
the 8-1 decision in U-Haul International, Inc. d/b/a U-Haul, U-Haul Co. of Texas... v. Talmadge Waldrip, Bernice Waldrip, Dinah Simington..., No. 10-0781
-
the 9-0 decision in Wendell Reeder v. Wood County Energy, LLC; Wood County Oil & Gas, Ltd.; Nelson Operating..., No. 10-0887
-
a solo concurring opinion in In re United Scaffolding, Inc., No. 10-0526
The Court’s public calendar is light over the next couple of weeks. Its next oral argument sitting is October 15-17, 2012. The next scheduled internal conference is not until October 22-23, 2012.
