Ruling blocks natural gas companies from liability for February 2021 storm damages
Traffic is sparse on the snow-covered I-45 near The Woodlands Parkway following an overnight snowfall Feb. 15, 2021 in The Woodlands. Temperatures plunged into the teens Monday with light snow and freezing rain. A judge ruled that natural gas companies will not have to stand trial for any damage or deaths caused by power outages during the four days in which Texas was hit with record cold temperatures and sleet and snow.
The judge’s order came in four specific test cases, also known as bellwether trials, which have been selected jointly by the lawyers on both sides to address the legal issues presented in each of them.
