There’s a settlement coming in a long-running dispute over whether $494,000 from a sanctions award should pay attorney fees to Austin-based appellate boutique Alexander Dubose & Jefferson, or pay an underlying judgment instead.

On June 28, at the request of the law firm and defendant Chevron Phillips Chemical Co., the Texas Supreme Court overturned an earlier intermediate appellate court’s opinion in the fee dispute and sent the matter back to the trial court with orders to render a judgment according to the settlement agreement. Court documents don’t list details about the settlement.
