How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that justification that attorney “overlooked the trial setting” without any contextual information or evidentiary explanation was insufficient to negate intent or conscious indifference under Rule 165a
• upholding a trial court’s dismissal for want of prosecution when the case “had been pending on the trial court’s docket with no apparent activity for over three years and five months”
• upholding a trial court’s dismissal for want of prosecution partly because a party’s “only activity” after a notice of intent to dismiss was issued was “the substitution of counsel and some effort to perfect service of process”
