Runnels County
Favorability to Plaintiff:
3 (Moderately Unfavorable)
Summary:
A rural West Texas, agriculture-first venue with a conservative base and limited local plaintiff capabilities. With little to no local verdict data, we rely on Big Country averages, which, together with the county’s conservative agricultural economy, point to defense-friendly juries. Plaintiffs face a mostly defense-leaning panel with limited potential for big verdicts. Net: rural, conservative, defense-oriented, and an extremely challenging venue.
