Millions Affected by GM Ignition Switch Recalls
Eugene R. "Gene" Egdorf
Attorney
The Lanier Law Firm in Houston
"The number of vehicles recalled by General Motors over faulty ignition switches has grown by nearly 1 million with the recent announcement of additional model years containing a dangerous defect that causes airbags to malfunction. According to GM, 13 people have been killed in accidents involving faulty ignition switches, and more than 2.5 million GM vehicles are being recalled overall. In the interest of safety, we hope GM owners take heed and get their vehicles repaired as quickly as possible. GM says there are 13 deaths, but we think there may be many more, and GM should be held responsible in a court of law."

Energy Boom Supporting Chinese Investment
Debra Villarreal
Attorney
Thompson & Knight in Dallas
"Joint-venture investments in U.S. energy holdings by Chinese state-owned and private enterprises continue to grow. This trend is motivated in large part by the need for Chinese entities to understand the management techniques and technology of American energy companies. With the U.S. now on track to becoming the world's largest oil and gas producer, and China already the world's largest consumer, such partnerships can be mutually beneficial. China has enormous shale gas reserves, but production has been slow due to a variety of economic and geographic challenges. They recognize the need to learn from and partner with domestic producers, consistent with contractual and governmental restrictions. Meanwhile the infusion of Chinese capital allows U.S. companies to continue exploration and production from our own reserves."
