Had the pleasure of practicing at the San Patricio, Texas courthouse today. Art Deco vibes from this New Deal project. Check out the most stylish green leather juror chairs in Texas.

"It is said that nature will not tolerate excess. As in the case of those who take more than their fair share. They're dealt with accordingly. For when you have too much, there will *always* be someone wanting to take it away from you." - Lucien Lacroix, 'Forever Knight'.

And it would get worse

There's a lesson in the comments if you're willing to learn it

I posted this at the bad place and got a bunch of responses celebrating the lack of pay for CIA lawyers, lol. If only

At the very least

CJA lawyers haven't been paid for their services since July 3. If the government shuts down that delay will be extended until the government re-opens.

Embarrassing confession time, I saw some click bait that was "Sam Altman's top nine books to Change Your Life" I clicked on it. I was going through it and #8 was "Winning" by Jack Welch and Suzy Welch. Which really tells me all I need to know about Sam Altman.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Imagine being a judge in Texas and issuing warrants for failure to appear during the rapture

Just a reminder that Willie Nelson cited lawyers as a preferred occupation to being a cowboy

Putting the question mark next to the exclamation mark is chaotic as fuck

I travelled to Gillespie County, Texas and got a 17 Count Not Guilty against the elected DA.

One of the brilliant messages in Andor is that you can never be fascist enough. The system destroys you. I was thinking about it a couple of days ago and how I believed the premise to be true but unobservable. And then we all observed it

General gripe I used to misspell a word in Outlook and then I'd click on it and it would give me a correct spelling. Now, I misspell a word and it gives me a drop down menu with four options including "Ask Co-Pilot". How is that helpful?

A great opportunity to learn from a master craftsman

I, for one, am excited to meet our AI President at 2pm Eastern. Long live AI Trump. I enthusiastically endorse this happy development

One of the worst things about the second Trump Presidency is discovering how incompetent spineless and soulless the Democrats have revealed themselves to be

How do I know the Democrats held off prosecuting Trump because they thought they could beat him? Because Merrick Garland didn't appoint a special counsel until after the mid-terms. And no one has ever really asked about this. They just give him a pass

Especially because they didn't hold him accountable because they wanted to run against him

The best part of living in a totalitarian state is the unsubstantiated rumors

I was in Federal Court this morning and both of my clients were being sentenced for illegal re-entry. One client was from Guatemala and the other from Mexico. The judge told each of them, as they stood there in stunned silence, that if they came back they might get reported to Africa

One of our kids is planning a quinceñera and my new Dad hobby is suggesting wildly inappropriate themes. Such as, "The Barrack Obama Years" "The Cuban Missile Crisis" "The Overthrow of Nikolai Caeocescou"

Got to check out this very cool Seth Thomas Clock at the Kinney County, TX Courthouse today

NEW: In March, the Trump administration announced a massive purge of workers at the nation's health agencies. We asked them how many workers were laid off, pushed out or left. They refused to give us numbers. So we conducted our own analysis... 🧵 projects.propublica.org/federal-heal...

Using robots to write police reports is a truly bad idea. There is no need for San Antonio to invest in this technology

Gavin Newsome trolling Donald Trump is funny I guess. But no one else is concerned that it took till now to figure this out? Not a great reflection on the talent pool

🔥🔥WATCH: “Rappers are smarter than economists”👇🏽 @dossdiscourse.bsky.social explains more cops doesn’t lower crime it just means more money for private prisons— Addressing poverty/hunger/health care lowers crime… but Trump’s trillions transfer just made all that MUCH WORSE… meaning crime will rise.

Imagine, if you will the lesser of two evils being... Wait for it, also a white guy. Inspired, right?

Gavin Newsome emerging as the foil to Donald Trump... Is not ideal. At all

God's work

Horrific www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

I recently bought a charging cord and a block. It works great but why does it need to light up?

Of course we can't have an awesome dignified collapse

There was a recent announcement that affects the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals most people missed it. I give a brief explanation about the announcement and explain the court www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8kHGKBw/

If Sheriff Salazar really cares about over crowding he should open up the satellite office so it can clear warrants the way it used to www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8kU4j1M/

The fact that 12% of federal judges are black is obviously DEI. The fact that 50% are part of a right wing legal cult that about 5% of law students belong to is a sign of meritocracy.

Listened to a breathless story on the Daily about Trump "winning" the trade negotiations and the "win" is we get to pay 15% more for European goods. I thought the goal was neither side paying any tarriffs. Has the NY Times lost the ability to think critically?

"It's ok, honey. The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout won't hurt you!" The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout:

This is an absolutely wild defense of child SA

Can the American people be trusted to not believe Maxwell when she repeats whatever it is Prosecutors want her to say? As a criminal defense attorney the answer is definitely "no"

I just made a donation please do the same this is a very worthy organization

I'm going to say this one more time more slowly. Texas. Republicans. Do. Not.Care. If. Their. Leaders. Do. Not. Live. By. There. Principals

This is beautiful

Hot take; if you're giving a victim impact statement for your murdered loved one making a joke about how the killer can expect to get r**** in prison cheapens the memory of your loved one.

Triple fee if they're offering to settle a nonexistent tax debt

Any solicitor who leaves a voicemail should be required to pay a fee before leaving that voicemail. Wireless carriers should set up a service that requires a cash app or other deposit from any non-contact that wants to leave a voicemail.
