I wonder if Reyna will move for sanctions against the defense lawyers, as being in violation of the gag order.

Interesting to me is the report that 30 lawyers are participating. Could they be "sending a message" that Reyna can expect some "cookie cutter" action coming back at him?

One lawyer drafts one motion and all 30 fill in the header for their own clients and file it.

Other than damages, the basis for suit against Stroman, Chavez, Reyna and an unnamed Texas DPS agent are the same, so one would expect to find the civil complaints to be very similar. The complaints are considerably more particular than the compliant used to justify arrest and detention, and the indictment. The civil rights suits give particulars about each plaintiff, in Section V "Facts Pertaining to Plaintiff." I notice the following section, "Causes of Action," is also labeled "V," a typo in that the section after "Causes of Action" is "VII."

A Texas court of appeals held that the cookie cutter complaints were sufficient. These suits claim the opposite, and ask a federal court to review the case on the same question.

The question of sufficiency of indictment will no doubt come up in Texas courts during pretrial maneuvering, beginning at arraignment - whenever the state decides to get around to that important and essential formality.
