The bench at a glance
10 Business Court judges have authored the opinions in the corpus's first 22 months. Each card shows that judge's opinion volume, grant rate, share of threshold-only rulings, and doctrinal signature — the procedural posture each judge has authored most often. Counts describe opinion output, not case difficulty, caseload, reversal risk, or judicial quality.
All ten judges are writing the court's doctrine, and the leading opinions are spread across the bench. Bullard authored the leading opinions on HB 40 threshold reductioni (2025 Tex. Bus. 47); Bullard also authored the amount-in-controversy remand in 2025 Tex. Bus. 30 (OWL Assetco 1 v. EOG Resources) under the § 25A.004(d) chapeau, decided under the pre-HB 40 $10 million floor. Adrogué authored the leading opinions on the HB 19 § 8 commencement-date bar (2024 Tex. Bus. 8; 2025 Tex. Bus. 2 and 8); Andrews authored the leading opinions on Rule 166(g)i early-legal-issue rulings and on the Marathon Oil force-majeurei arc; Dorfman authored Clean-Co Systems.
