I have gotten a little behind in posting case opinions, but will try to catch up. Will post the most recent decisions first, and then work backwards.
This blog has now been in existence for more than a year. It currently has a Google PageRank of 2/10 and new posts are typically indexed promptly by Googlebot and show up in organic results in general web searches, rather than merely in searches of blogs. This makes the Third Court opinions much more accessible than they currently are on the court's own website, which does not get indexed by search engines unless there are multiple incoming links to a particular URL (usually a newsworthy case, such as the YFZ mandamus). When that happens the anchor text (usually the case style depending on the webmasters or bloggers that create the link) appears on the search results page, but no snippet of the actual text. This blog gets part, if not all, of the opinion text crawled and indexed, but it also hot-links all posted opinions and appellate docket sheets on the Texas Judiciary server, so visitors can go to the original source of the document and view it with the original formatting.
On a different note, there has been some confusion on the part of readers/users about the underlying motives and the purposes of the blog, and some rather unpleasant anti-lawyer diatribe which I'd rather not even quote or grace with much comment. Let me just note that I am not using this blog to solicit clients for lawsuits. I am not even a lawyer. I am a social scientist by training and an avid "student" of the law, and occasional commentator.
