The 1st Court of Appeals will hear oral argument April 17 in a mandamus action over a disqualification order. At issue is whether Houston’s Martin Disiere Jefferson & Wisdom can represent the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) in consolidated Hurricane Ike litigation pending in Galveston County.
TWIA wants the appeals court to order 212th District Judge Susan Criss of Galveston to withdraw her order disqualifying Martin Disiere and partner Christopher Martin from representing TWIA in Ike litigation, which is consolidated for pretrial matters in Criss’ court.
