Request was granted and the deadline was extended until March 30, 2015. The cause on appeal, #D-1-GV-11-001923, was a forthright lawsuit under the Public Information Act, initiated by appellants, against an opinion issued by the former Attorney General of the State of Texas, Greg Abbott. Held in the 261st District Court in Travis County, the lawyers presented documents, pleadings, and arguments before the Court. The case involved no witnesses, cross-examinations, subpoenas, or jury.
