Arbitration pilot may ease Houston judges’ heavy docket
Houston federal judges handle more than 900 cases each, about twice the national average. Beginning in April, the Southern District of Texas joins 9 other districts in a four year civil arbitration trial for 25 suit types. An arbitrator from a pool of about 300 lawyers will mediate sessions, with Judge Norman Black predicting up to one third of the city’s 4,500 annual filings could settle without full trial and time from filing to hearing may fall from 13 months to about 90 days.

Green chosen as Democratic majority leader in Texas House
Houston Rep. Gene Green was elected Democratic majority leader as the 150-member Texas House shifts toward a more Republican balance with 52 Republicans. Green warned the session may still not be highly partisan, as redistricting remains the main battleground. The caucus also installed a new leadership slate including Steve Carriker as whip and Irma Rangel as secretary. Senate action on a banking bill to lower collateral for state deposits passed 28 to 0. Orange County Day was celebrated in both chambers with Miss Texas Tamara Hext visiting and a tribute to A H Montagne. Fort Worth Sen Hugh Palmer received a Superman T-shirt in a light moment.
