The Court’s calendar shows an event that may take several Justices’ time this week (an American Law Institute (ALI) meeting Monday through Wednesday). Because next Monday is Memorial Day, the Texas Supreme Court’s next scheduled private conference to consider petitions is June 1st.

Articles from the past week

• On Friday, the Court issued opinions in three cases. My summaries of all three cases are in that post. (My post going into a little more detail about the Crites case is still on the back burner.)

• The Court also formally accepted the Fifth Circuit’s certified question in the Severance case, mentioned in this earlier post.
