On November 22, 2022, the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas issued an order in a case involving expert testimony.

The court reviewed Texas substantive law on admissibility of future medical expenses, which is a relaxed standard under Texas caselaw, and found that the testimony is consistent with Texas law on the topic and is therefore admissible.
