On November 20, another hearing was held in Texas Reform Party v Reform Party of the USA, in state court in Dallas, Texas. This case had been filed by the “Dallas” (Foster) faction of the national party on September 14, 2007. A hearing held in September had resulted in a temporary injunction against the “Yuma” (Martin/O’Hara) faction of the party from representing itself as national officers of the Reform Party.

However, at the November 20 hearing, the judge dissolved the injunction, and struck all the evidence that had been presented in September by the people who had filed the case. John Blare argued for the defendants, and he appears to have successfully persuaded the court that the three state parties of the Reform Party who filed the lawsuit were not bona fide state Reform Parties.
