The last week in January, Speaker of the House Joe Straus formally assigned state Rep. Tryon D. Lewis, R-Odessa, to serve as chairman of the House Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence Committee. On Jan. 30, Lewis received more good news, when 334th District Judge Ken Wise of Houston issued a take-nothing judgment for his clients in a breach of contract dispute.
"I’m always amazed at how good and smart juries are," says Lewis, who served as lead counsel representing three of the four defendants in the litigation.
