Why Texas Will Never Recognize Underground Water Migration as Trespassing

To the disappointment of many landowners, the Texas Supreme Court avoided controversy by instead focusing on the issue of which party bears the burden to prove consent as it relates to the claim of trespass.

Robert Hart has the Coolest Lawyer Job on Earth – Meet Mark Cuban’s General Counsel

For nearly three decades, Hart has been Cuban’s friend and chief legal adviser. “Mark goes at a very fast pace,” he says. “He’s out there everywhere. My job is to be his backstop… fill in the holes behind him. I’m here to help Mark do what he does best, but to make sure that he avoids legal pitfalls.”

In this in-depth profile, Hart discusses the challenges of being Mark Cuban’s top lawyer, the complexity of the deals he’s handled and the millions of dollars he spends annually on outside legal fees. Cuban, of course, also weighs in.

“[Robert’s] job is to be super conservative and to piss me off… but also to protect me,” Cuban says. “Here’s the thing: When I don’t follow Robert’s advice, it usually bites me in the ass.”
