Texas AG's office drops the ball, gets default judgment rescinded regarding Texas Tech lawsuit
A Lubbock judge on Wednesday granted the Texas attorney generals 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 judges ruling included an order for Tech officials to reinstate Wetherbe as a professor teaching in the Rawls College of Business MBA program.

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