Tried about four times to get AI to recreate the "TOEFLOP" bridge graffiti at I-10 and TC Jester.

Repeatedly corrected AI on the spelling of my name.

Kept getting it wrong. Story of my life.

Yours Sincerely,

Just wrapped up a premises liability trial in Stephens County. The verdict did not go my client’s way, but how cool to try a case in my wife’s hometown. The courthouse turned 100 years old on the second to last day of trial.

Well, well, well.

These are the defendant's discovery responses in a drunk driving auto accident. I have video showing her lights were off when she crashed into my client, totaling his car, and only means of getting to work. Her insurance company wouldn't accept liability, notwithstanding that she was arrested for DWI, and the police report said her BAC was 0.151.

Turns out, she's an insurance claim adjuster. I asked for her employer's name, which they didn't provide (that's ok, I will get it).

Check out the answers to Interrogatories Nos. 5 and 12.

This is wild stuff.

Judges are busy people. Just because you have a hearing set for 9:00 AM doesn't mean it will happen at 9:00 AM.

I put my waiting time to good use by having AI take one of my summer vacation pictures and put me in Harry's tuxedo from Dumb & Dumber.

Trial report. State Farm's initial offer before suit was filed was about $9,600. Highest offer was $22,000 a few weeks before trial. State Farm had multiple chances to settle for their insured's $50K policy limit.

After a two-day trial in Harris County, the jury returned a verdict of $84,000. With pre-judgment interest and some taxable costs, the final judgment should be for about $105,000.

I'm glad for my client who, as I told the jury, is a regular person like the rest of us who just happened to get hurt in a car crash that wasn't her fault.

Fairly typical start to the workday.

Happened upon this wreck at a 4-way stop in The Heights this morning. Bet neither driver has a dash cam. Swearing matches over who ran a light or a stop sign are a real stinker with no video or independent witnesses.

Do yourself a big favor and get a dash cam. Don’t keep putting it off! Cheapest insurance you’ll ever buy.
