Texas AG's office drops the ball, gets default judgment rescinded regarding Texas Tech lawsuit

A Lubbock judge on Wednesday granted the Texas attorney general’s motion to set aside a summary judgment in favor of a Texas Tech business professor and reinstate the case.

Judge Ruben Reyes withdrew his May 20 order granting James Wetherbe the Texas Tech Horn Professorship, the highest honor given to university faculty.

The judge’s ruling included an order for Tech officials to reinstate Wetherbe as a professor teaching in the Rawl’s College of Business MBA program.

Reyes signed the default judgment after a lawyer in the Attorney General’s Office failed to respond to Wetherbe’s April 22 lawsuit against Tech in the 72nd District Court.

In an affidavit, Eric Vinson with the Attorney General’s Office said he “inadvertently failed to properly calendar the date by which Texas Tech University’s answer was due.”
