High Court Re-Hears Arguments in Open Beaches Case	Top
The Texas Supreme Court on April 19 re-heard oral arguments in Severance v. Patterson, a case pitting private property rights against the state's enforcement of the public's right to free beach access. In its November 2010 opinion, a 6-2 court held that Texas does not recognize a public easement that automatically moves far inland after storms decimate large swaths of coastline. However, the high court subsequently granted the state's motion for rehearing. Dave Breemer represents Carol Severance.

Former Silicosis Clients Sue O'Quinn Law Firm, Estate	Top
A group of 187 former clients of the O'Quinn Law Firm has sued the Houston firm, the late John M. O'Quinn's estate and others, alleging the defendants overcharged them for expenses in silicosis suits, failed to distribute some silicosis settlements and communicate information about them, and were negligent in handling claims against some bankrupt silica defendants. Dale Jefferson (pictured), a partner in Martin, Disiere, Jefferson & Wisdom of Houston, says, "We deny the pled allegations."
