One of the most important factors to determine the outcome of any dispute is the question of who will be the decision maker. Parties litigating in court spend significant resources analyzing venue issues at early stages of litigation and jury selection at the end, believing that having the “right” decision makers often makes the difference in success or failure.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent Spokeo v. Robins decision has been heralded by the Texas business community as an important limitation on class action liability. The decision, however, has triggered concerns in at least some states that it might have the unintended consequence of creating more class action litigation in state court forums that are viewed by some defendants as less favorable. This article explores the reasons to believe Texas is probably not one of those states.
