Commission Supports Veterans’ Access to Justice
The Champions of Justice Gala Tuesday in Austin raised $401,000 to support legal aid for veterans. That’s the good news. The bad news: Texas has nearly 1.7 million veterans, and resources are not sufficient to meet their demand for legal services. “Getting aid can make the difference between life and death,” said Harry Reasoner, chair of the Texas Access to Justice Commission.

Exclusive: Texas M&A Strong in Q1, Except Oil & Gas Upstream

By contrast, oil and gas pipeline companies continued their frantic pace of acquiring and divesting assets. Energy Transfer Partners purchased Regency Energy Partners for $18 billion, which is the largest deal so far this year. The Texas Lawbook provides in-depth coverage.
