Free Speech, Due Process and Trial by Jury
In 2025, the Lone Star State was once again at the forefront of some of the biggest legal stories of the year. Join Androvett Legal Media & Marketing as we take a look back at the Top 10 Texas Legal Stories that shaped the past year, including the immigration court crisis, fallout from the 2024 election, and threats to the judiciary.
Judge-shopping claims, a surrogacy scam, and the opening of the Texas business courts were among the Androvett Legal Media team's top five legal stories in Texas for 2024. But they didn't top the list.
Nearly every headline-gripping news item we read last year had a legal tie, from the mysterious missing animals at the Dallas Zoo to the historical impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Many of the stories that made this list will be drawn out in 2024. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, for example, could still be compelled to submit DNA testing to determine if he is the biological father of a woman who works as an aide to U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson of Amarillo. And the criminal case for the Houston man accused of killing Migos rapper Takeoff is scheduled to go to trial this year.
