Why this matter warrants attention
As recounted in this appellate opinion, the trial court became concerned about citations in attorney Ken Wigginton’s briefing and issued a show-cause order concerning violations of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct and failure to verify generative-AI outputs. After a hearing, it declined to sanction Wigginton for using AI and denied the competing sanctions motions.
