CLEonline.com, together with the Houston Bar Association, are pleased to present a practical online CLE seminar designed for Texas litigators. This seminar will cover what constitutes an offer under TRCP 167, what constitutes a rejection, what it means to be a 'prevailing party', assessment of litigation costs, practice tips, and relevant case law. The speaker for this seminar successfully tried the first case to go to verdict under this rule, reversing litigation costs against the defendant.

This audio presentation features attorney Cris Feldman of the Houston firm of Rusty Hardin & Associates, P.C..
