S in the Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
DISSENT; Opinion Filed August 20, 2021 S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-20-00050-CV WINSTEAD PC, Appellant V. DEWEY M. MOORE, JR., Appellee On Appeal from the 44th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-19-15858 DISSENTING OPINION Opinion by Justice Schenck While I agree with the majority that the TCPA applies to Moore’s legal- malpractice and equitable-indemnification claims, I do not agree with the majority’s conclusion that the TCPA does not apply to Moore’s negligent-misrepresentation claim, and I do not agree with the majority’s decision to remand the remaining claims to the trial court for a legal determination we would review de novo. For the following reasons, I dissent. I. Moore’s Negligent-Misrepresentation Claim Alleges Communications “in Connection with” an Issue Under Consideration or Review by a Governmental Body. As a Chapter 27 movant, Winstead had the initial burden of showing by a preponderance of the evidence that the legal action is based on or is in response to the party’s exercise of the right of free speech, the right to petition, or the right of association. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 27.005(b). I begin with the TCPA’s definition of the “[e]xercise of the right to petition” and whether Winstead showed the statements alleged in Moore’s petition met that definition, as that definition appears to be the sole dispositive point of disagreement in addressing Winstead’s first issue. See id. § 27.001(4).

Texas Powerhouse: Winstead by Jeremy Heallen
Portfolio Media. Inc. | 860 Broadway, 6th Floor | New York, NY 10003 | www.law360.com Phone: +1 646 783 7100 | Fax: +1 646 783 7161 | [email protected] Texas Powerhouse: Winstead By Jeremy Heallen Law360, Houston (July 02, 2014, 2:52 PM ET) -- Over the last 40 years, Winstead PC has established a reputation as a leader among Texas-based commercial litigation and transactional boutiques while remaining true to founder Pete Winstead's ambition of building a firm where a lawyer's worth is not strictly measured in billable hours. Founded in 1973 by Winstead, Bill Sechrest and Chuck McGuire, what was a tiny Dallas upstart now claims nearly 300 lawyers spread across six offices in Texas and a client roster that includes AMR Corp., the Dallas Cowboys, Texas A&M University, the Houston Texans, the San Antonio Spurs, Exxon Mobil Corp., Tesoro Corp., Whole Foods Market Inc., Texas Instruments Inc., Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co. and Citigroup Inc. Winstead attorneys have closed multibillion-dollar mergers, been on the front lines of high-stakes litigation and helped launch professional sports venues throughout the Lone Star State, landing the firm on Law360's list of Texas Powerhouses. After graduating from the University of Texas School of Law in 1965, Pete Winstead worked for four years in the tax division of the U.S. Department of Justice before joining what eventually became Vial Hamilton Koch & Knox LLP. At the firm, Winstead, Sechrest and McGuire were attempting to build its transactional practice when they encountered a contingent of lawyers who refused to share clients out of fear that there wouldn't be enough work to go around, Winstead recalls.
