This seminar will be an update on trends and hot topics in the Texas Citizen Participation Act, including how the appellate courts have been construing the TCPA’s text after the last few amendments to the TCPA and areas of uncertainty that have not be undecided by the Texas Supreme Court. There will be a discussion on how appellate courts have construed and applied Section 27.009(b), which allows a trial court to award fees to the responding party if a motion to dismiss is deemed to be “frivolous” or “solely intended to delay,” and the amendments to the TCPA that directly relate to Section 27.009(b).

1 hour of MCLE credit, including 0.25 hours of ethics.

The HBA adopted the following policy for judicial campaigning at HBA events:

There should be no active campaigning, no literature distributed, no buttons worn, essentially nothing to indicate that a judge is in a contested race, and certainly nothing urging a favorable vote. Judges and judicial candidates may serve on HBA committee(s) and appear in HBA programs.
