Why did the appellants in the Cow in the Road case go to Dallas’ Fifth Court of Appeals and stay there? Apparently to get sanctioned for filing a frivolous appeal, according to a recent ruling in the unusual dispute.
Archer v. Tunnell is dubbed the Cow in the Road case because it involves a retired doctor who once tried to use the Texas medical malpractice tort reform laws to shield himself from a lawsuit filed by a plaintiff who was allegedly injured after hitting the defendant’s loose cows. [See "How Is Hitting a Cow in the Road Med Mal?," Texas Lawyer, Jan. 19, 2015.]
