The
Midland (TX) Reporter-Telegram
(5/19, Basco, 44K) reports that Texas' Supreme Court last Thursday
upheld the state Court of Appeals' ruling that a civil trial involving
Union Pacific over a November 15, 2012 train wreck should remain in Midland.
The state Supreme Court ultimately has the power to decide on the trial's
venue, however. The paper notes that plaintiffs in the lawsuit have been
trying to have it heard in Dallas, in hope of consolidating their case
with another that's similar in nature.
