MENCHACA II

USAA v. Menchaca, 545 S.W.3d 479 (Tex. 2018)

“TABLE OF CONTENTS”  

Principally for my own benefit, I have written what some might regard as an extended outline and discussion of the Supreme Court’s three opinions in the rehearing version of its positions in the Menchaca case. My disquisition consists of eight “Quinn’s Parts.”

Given below is a map through the various parts. The “titles” listed here do not correspond exactly to the titles that appear on the first pages of the various parts. The ones given here are intended for immediate guidance only. 

Those who react to what I have written and posted as part of this series, are invited to comment and criticize, thereby furthering my horizontal and vertical education.  What has been written and posts are my responsibility only. No one else in any way associated or partnered with me bears any at all. All of it was pondered and written by me and on my watch alone. 

Readers may note that the posting of this series began on April 13, 2020, two years to-the-day after the opinions were entered.
