| Commentary: Persuading the Texas Supreme Court to Grant a Petition for Review | Top |
| Anyone who has done this law thing for awhile surely has been done wrong by a court of appeals — or at least thinks so, writes Kendall Gray. Upon vowing to "take it all the way to the Texas Supreme Court," the odds are that the lawyer failed. According to the 2010 Annual Report for the Texas Judiciary: Fiscal Year 2010, published by the Office of Court Administration, the court granted only about 12 percent of its petitions for review in 2010. Trying to become part of that 12 percent can make one feel like a child tugging on the skirt of a preoccupied parent. | |

| A Webb County lawyer has been placed on probation for two years, and a Bexar County lawyer has been placed on probation for one year, the State Bar of Texas reported recently. The Webb County lawyer was named in two cases. Agreed judgments in each case ordered him to complete nine additional hours of continuing legal education in the area of law practice management, nine hours in bankruptcy and six hours in ethics. The Bexar County lawyer was ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution and $4,000 in attorney's fees and direct expenses to the State Bar. | |
