Ah, Summer Recess

By D. Todd Smith

For the past couple of weeks, we have seen a slowdown from a very busy spring and early summer at the Texas Supreme Court.  That's because the Court has entered its traditional "summer recess," which generally begins in early July and ends in late August.

The Court's recent orders have focused on firming up oral argument settings for the fall.  The Court has also released its calendar for next term.
