The only way to really get to a practical 'bottom' of the subject of the definition of 'conspicuous' as it relates to signage posting is to find previous determinations in prior cases where the 'conspicuous' became a point of argument that had to be resolved. It can be in chl cases (the best to hope for) or cases where similar requirements were factors in the Texas cases. For example, a case where a foreclosure had to be posted 'conspicuously' for 60 days. Or, a parcel being auctioned had to be posted by signage posted 'conspicuously' prior to the event. If these points became arguable and were decided upon as part of the course of the case then they could be used as a precedent in any defense in a chl case where the conspicuousness of a sign posting was a factor.

At the very least we would have a better understanding of the ambiguously used term in 30.06.

This is to Charles Cotton or anyone who is familiar with the subject.

I am not a lawyer but I did work for one of the largest firms in Dallas for a few years back in the seventies and my duties taught me a few things. How can we research specific case law dealing with chl issues? Where can we look up these cases? I would like to study the more insignificant cases in addition to landmark and precedent cases. I would like to be able to be able to read the full case report if possible.

I and most people do not have access to Nexis and most court house libraries require that you be a lawyer. Maybe there are web sites with case info.

Any help would be appreciated.
