The district civil courts are just as bad. You have to not be white or a male to win now. Even if your're a democrat.
I don't play much in state court because of my practice but in the last year or so I've had to spend some time in Harris County. I really feel for the trial bar at this point. The lack of quality on the bench means that trial practice in Harris county is going to devolve into little more than plaintiff PI cases, car wrecks, etc. -- much more like what you see in the valley.
I've heard of the litigators at my firm moving sophisticated matters away from Harris County whenever possible.
It's gotten to the point where even the local democrats are starting to take notice.
