History was made in Harris County on February 20, 2026. The Texas Business Court had its first jury verdict entered in the case Powers v. Berry, No. 24-BC11A-0025, which involved a dispute over a crude oil delivery project. This marks a major milestone for the new court system, which seeks to establish itself as an alternative to Delaware's Chancery Court. The Business Court seeks to do this in part by offering quick resolutions to cases with financially high stakes.
