Favorability to Plaintiff:

3 (Moderately Unfavorable)

Summary:

A very rural, oil-and-agriculture county with a conservative base and limited plaintiff resources. Trial activity is light and there are no major verdicts on the books, so expectations rest on High Plains dynamics. Juries are conservative, skeptical of large awards, and tend to favor the defense. Net: rural West Texas, oil and agriculture economy, defense-oriented and less favorable to plaintiffs.
