"As the managing partner at Gauntt, Kohen, Binney & Kidd, LLP, we have been using O'Connor's research and resource material for decades. We made the switch to Bearings several years ago and have never looked back. The quality of the materials is far superior to any that we have previously used and the personal attention you get from the Bearings staff is truly unique." Geoffrey S. Binney, Managing Partner of Gauntt, Kohen, Binney & Kidd, LLP

"The Bearings Texas Civil Litigation guide is comprehensive, well-organized, and easy to use. It is a must-have for every Texas trial lawyer!" Johnny Carter, Partner at Susman Godfrey

"I am a charter subscriber to Bearings legal publications. I was originally attracted to Bearings products because they are local and accessible. I feel like it is the neighborhood legal bookstore. I use the Texas Civil Litigation set and have been very pleased with how it is formatted and with the editing. It is easy to use, not overwhelming. I like the fact that the commentaries are separated from the rules and annotations, as it makes finding needed information efficient. I also appreciate that the annotations are current and reliable. The set provides me everything I need regarding Texas rules and interpretation when I need it.” Paul N. Gold; Aversano & Gold
