Jason A. Gibson, the Houston trial lawyer who was sued in July by two political consulting companies that allege he failed to pay them for work on his U.S. Senate campaign, filed answers in those suits on Aug. 9. In one, he also filed third-party claims against his former campaign manager.
In separate petitions filed on July 25 in Harris County district courts, Stanford Campaigns of Austin alleges Gibson failed to pay $15,855 for campaign work, and Lonestar Strategies of Houston alleges Gibson owes it $12,500 for campaign services.
