Solos and small-firm lawyers who also serve in the Texas Legislature filed for most of the legislative continuances in court between 2003 and 2005, according to a new study by a political watchdog group. The study shows that just five lawyer-legislators, all of whom are solos or small-firm attorneys, accounted for 81 percent of the 431 legislative continuances. In the top slot: Roberto Alonzo, who sought 241. Phil King, who came in second, explains solos have no one to substitute for them in a crunch.

Solos and small firm lawyers who also serve in the Texas Legislature filed for most of the legislative continuances between 2003 and 2005, according to a recent study.
The study, released last week by the political watchdog group Texans for Public Justice, revealed that five lawyer-legislators — all of whom are solos or small firm attorneys — accounted for 81 percent of the 431 legislative continuances that delayed hearings or stopped trials on behalf of clients the lawyers represented.
