Favorability to Plaintiff:

2 (Extremely Unfavorable)

Summary:

A small, rural, agricultural venue in the Texas panhandle with conservative, homogenous demographics and a tight-knit community. Trial activity is somewhat sparse. Verdict history shows few notable plaintiff wins, and with few trials on the books we apply a Panhandle regional proxy. Taken together, defense-favored demographics, oil/gas and ranch ties, limited plaintiff infrastructure, this is a defense-oriented forum and a difficult place for plaintiffs, even though the scant record leaves a slim margin of uncertainty.
