Favorability to Plaintiff:

8 (Extremely Favorable)

Summary:

A major urban border venue and one of Texas’s most reliably Democratic counties, El Paso seats an overwhelmingly Hispanic jury pool (over 80%) with a lower median income and a track record of plaintiff-friendly outcomes, including a notable $13M verdict in 2023. The local bar is sophisticated, trial settings are favorable, and juries tend to empathize with injured individuals, especially in well-developed liability cases, while the judiciary’s profile further supports plaintiffs. Politics skew Democratic, the population is diverse and urban, and verdicts range from steady mid-tier results to sizeable awards when the proof is strong.
