In something of a hollow victory, two Texas oil companies recently won a jury trial in a landman case fought in Dallas County, yet the jury failed to award the winning parties their respective attorney fees that together total approximately $600,000.

The case is being tried before Judge Jim Jordan in the 160th State District Court in Dallas.
