Degan v. Board of Trustees of the Dallas Police and Fire Pension System, 594 S.W.3d 309 (Tex. 2020); Degan v. Board of Trustees of Dallas Police and Fire Pension System, 956 F.3d 813 (5th Cir. 2020)

Successfully represented the Dallas Police and Fire Pension System in the Texas Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, securing the dismissal of state and federal constitutional claims that challenged a Texas pension reform statute critical to the future solvency of the pension system. This is the second of two landmark Texas Supreme Court wins we have secured for this client, upholding the constitutionality of pension reforms implicating nearly $1 billion in pension assets.
