Represented Texas State Representative Carol Alvarado whose former political opponent sued her for $1.5 million, for a variety of claims related to her political campaign's website and social media communication, but for which there was no private cause of action. We filed a motion to dismiss under Texas' Anti-SLAPP statute and set a hearing for two weeks later. The plaintiff, after threatening to amend her petition to include more claims, non-suited with prejudice the morning of the hearing on the motion to dismiss. We went forward with the hearing and obtained a ruling in favor of our client for the full amount of her attorneys' fees and expenses related to disposing of the lawsuit, approximately $11,000.
