False Marking Day at the Marshall courthouse; new offices open

By Michael C. Smith

The first batch of false marking cases filed in the Eastern District of Texas officially makes it to status conferences today, with over a dozen set for status conferences and motion hearings throughout the day in Judge T. John Ward's court.  I'm aware of one case that's previously had a scheduling conference in Judge Ron Clark's court, but the cases set for status conferences in Tyler to date have settled prior to the hearings, and these are the first in Marshall.

I am late getting this notice out, but our new offices at 111 East Austin Street are now complete, and today will be a sort of soft-open house as we host visiting lawyers in for the hearings.  Our firm is representing several defendants in these marking cases, so we'll be attending the proceedings during the day, but if you're in town feel free to stop by for a cup of coffee and a quick tour of the offices, which include our firm's core offices on the east side and the trial suite on the west side.
