[Updated] SCOTX Justice Paul Green Retires: ‘It Just Seemed Like the Right Time’

Texas Supreme Court Justice Paul W. Green, the justice second in seniority on the state’s highest civil appellate court, announced his retirement Tuesday, nearly 2 ½ years before his elective term was to end.

“I’m 68, and it just seemed like the right time,” the San Antonio native said in an interview with The Texas Lawbook. “My youngest son is a senior in high school. This will give me a chance to spend more time with him.”
