... from the 32nd Annual Constuction Law Conference.  This is a great event.  The speakers are good, and the material is pertinent to those of us who practice Construction Law.  

The Legislative Update was interesting, per usual, and we wait and see what changes are coming down the pike.  The long-standing enigma of Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 38 ... that you can't recover attorney's fees when recovering for breach of contract against an LLC or partnership (huh?) ... could finally be fixed.  

There is also a serious, long overdue effort afoot to modernize Texas lien law and institute a web-based system instead.  

Homeowners beware:  There is another effort to shorten the Statute of Repose, specifically to bar all suits seven years after construction, regardless of when a homeowner discovered, or should have discovered the defect.  

Stay tuned and keep a sharp eye on Austin. 

These changes remind us that almost nothing is permanent in the legal world. So, prepare and seek counsel accordingly.
