Two Judicial Hopefuls Sue Harris County Democratic Party Chairman Over Ballot Position
Two lawyers seeking Democratic nominations as county court judges today each filed a pro se suit against Gerry Birnberg, chairman of the Harris County Democratic Party, alleging they will be "irreparably harmed" because they aren't listed first in their races on the primary ballot.

Decision of the Day
Davisson v. Nicholson
(Tex.App. Dist.2 02/04/2010)
Appellants contend that the doctor at issue is not practicing health care in a field of practice involving the same type of care or treatment as that delivered by the doctors in this case. Although many of the doctor's more recent diplomates and papers involved forensic psychology, nothing in his report or curriculum vitae shows that he was practicing forensic psychology to the exclusion of clinical psychology. Thus, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by overruling the objection to the doctor's expert qualifications. Fort Worth Court of Appeals, No. 2-09-169-CV, 02-04-2010
