Case Summaries 

The following pages contain case summaries for petitions that have been granted review and those that have been set for oral argument by the Supreme Court of Texas.

The summaries are created by the Court's staff attorneys and law clerks and do not constitute the Court’s official descriptions or statements. As cases are granted, set for oral argument, or decided, summaries will be added and ultimately updated with any opinions, dissents, or concurrences. Readers are encouraged to review the Court’s official opinions for specifics regarding each case. Links to the full case documents are included within each summary.

The Supreme Court of Texas Update Paper is a living document that contains all cases decided over the past year. 

The Court appreciates suggestions and corrections, which may be emailed to amy.starnes@txcourts.gov.
