Wednesday my dad passed out at work and yesterday morning he went to doctor and was immediately sent to ER, and they admitted him. He was set for emergency surgery in like 3 hours. I asked for an extension from OC to go to them. OC said no. So, don't be like OC.

Remember attorneys, if you dismiss or nonsuit a case during October, a Spirit Halloween takes its place.

Insurance application: describe all pets, including temperament, age, and bite history. Me: one geriatric Beta fish, bluish purple; lethargic; floaty with occasional gill-flaring; no known history of biting.

Hi #appellatetwitter folks. I’m moderating a terrific Texas Courts of Appeals panel at the upcoming Advanced Civil Appellate CLE in Austin. What questions would you like the panel justices to answer?

Legal writing pro tip: if there is only one of the thing at issue in your document, you don’t have to capitalize the thing as a defined term.

Wife and I are fostering this muppet until he gets over a skin infection. (He was on the euth list at a South Texas shelter and my friends at Petco Charities grabbed him.)

I’m not even sure this website is used for such things anymore, but is any Texas appellate lawyer here interested in a plaintiff’s side Fifth Circuit employment appeal? DM or email me if interested. #lawtwitter #appellatetwitter

Okay here’s my question. If the judge is baking so much error into this trial that a guilty verdict will not stand on appeal (which he is), exactly whose side is he really helping?

Have any of my solo or small-law friends invested in software to automate the appellate-brief-production process (tables, cite-checking, etc.)? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Austin Animal Center has a management crisis. Its constant negative marketing and uninspiring director has put it in a doom spiral.

No article should be written about the shelter without including the sentence, “the Austin Animal Advisory Commission issued a vote of no confidence in the shelter director.”

Not me asking the fellow dad at my kid’s birthday party— and EIGHTEEN-TIME GOLD MEDALIST—what line of work he’s in.

But honestly, it gives me hope that somewhere out there, at some kid’s birthday party, a clueless dad is saying, “Hey Mike, you’re pretty tall, ever play a little basketball?”

I think of myself as a generally rational person, and then I see another used piano on sale.

In my first house, an 1100sf craftsman, I had a Steinway grand, a Hamilton upright, and a Hammond organ.
