County Judge Scott Felton said it’s not uncommon for municipalities and county governments to be sued, and county leaders are aware of that as they handle budget requests.
“Many of them have no basis, but you still have to defend yourself in them,” Felton said. “You still have to show up and be counted.”
I’m curious. Where would these civil suits be heard?
I would think it would be in McLennan County Civil Court.
Depending on the claim, a local/state civil court or a federal district court. A plaintiff can sue in both venues. Clendennen's case was filed in the Federal District Court, Western District of Texas, Waco Division (Case 6:15-cv-00173).
