The Texas Supreme Court is about to start its first argument sitting of the fall. The cases set for argument are listed below; you can watch live webcasts (or archived videos) of these oral arguments through this link.
The SCOTXblog coverage of these arguments will be getting off to a slow start. I am attending today’s arguments in my capacity as counsel not as a blogger (I’m on the briefs in one case), and tomorrow morning I have a conflicting oral argument in a different court.
Two cases that deserve note are DPS v. Cox Newsapers (to be argued Wednesday) about whether the Governor’s security detail’s travel receipts are protected from disclosure or are public information, and March USA, Inc. v. Cook (to be argued Thursday) about what consideration from an employer is needed to support a covenant not to compete against an employee.
