Texas Legislative Update (Mar 2024)
The 88th Legislative Session saw extraordinary opposition for the renewable energy sector, including proposals that would impose onerous and unprecedented permitting mandates, increase fees for operators and Texas consumers taking advantage of renewable energy, and even full expulsion of renewable resources from the ERCOT Market. While the industry fended off the most egregious attacks, some meaningful pain was inflicted that industry participants should be aware of and take into account. Breakdown what happened, why, and what lies ahead for a flourishing industry facing political challenges in a conservative state.

Construction Liens: Resolving the Guerrilla Tactics of Contractors and Subcontractors (Mar 2024)
Construction liens provide leverage for parties seeking payment for construction services, labor and supplies. Lien laws were created in the 19th century when tangible real estate was a more effective security for payment. In today’s world liens are seldom processed through foreclosure, but they remain an effective mechanism to get people’s attention. Review the lien basics, contract clauses to shift the risk of liens and practical ways to respond to and resolve lien-related disputes.
