I think your statements could be misleading. If you mean you can file a petition that says I hired little green men from mars to chase you then that is correct. If you mean you have any chances whatsoever of prevailing then that is incorrect and misleading. That is obviously a frivolous suit and would be quickly dismissed. Texas has also adopted the "loser pays" doctrine which means when I get your frivolous lawsuit tossed that I may receive a judgment against you for court costs plus my attorney's fees.

You would be ill-advised to file a frivolous lawsuit in Texas.
That was quoted to look like I said that, and I did not. I am 100% sure it was an accident. :leaving

Re: Houston: Mother Pistol-whipped and Robbed in IKEA Parking Lit

Hopefully the store maintained video that panned out into the parking lot and revealed the license plate number on the perp. car. Lots of cars are stolen by thugs who then abandon them after their felonious activities. Story mentioned the felon jumped into a car with other occupants---sounds like a thug gang looking for opportunities in and around parking lots. We can hope the police catch these bad guys sooner rather than later---otherwise I predict they will strike again.
