Why is anyone still listening to doucette? Chupp did more work in this case than defenses counsel.

It's a simple matter, though, to look thru the 70-something posts I've made to find it I imagine

That's a good point, I'm not sure why I thought of that. How optimistic are you and Vic regarding the appeals?

Bold of you to assume Douchette knows what he's talking about.

Douchette doesn't know what he's talking about. Even if he did it wouldn't matter, and it would be a catastrophe to file a late appeal. You'd simply lose. The only effect of filing an appeal prematurely would be that it would be deemed to be filed as of the date it became timely, but after the event that made it timely (TRAP 27.1(a)).
So if you had a choice between one or the other, you would of course err toward premature filing.
I wouldn't put much effort into trying to decipher anything intelligible out of anything this gourd headed dumb fuck says, though.

He's allowed to any time after the final decision of Chupp, which was when he filed the 5 page dumpster fire, so long as it's within (I think) 20 or 30 days after the final decision. Thomas has no idea what he's talking about, because he only ever has to deal with cases he's already lost being appealed for his own ineptitude.

One of the funniest things in this case is Douchette thinking that its outcome has something to do with him.

Worse yet, he thinks his spednaught is useful. Congrats T Greg, you created a 3000 page encyclopedia of opinions and you forgot the fucking index. NOBODY is ever going to try to sift through that swamp looking for anything.

It's 20 days because all appeals from the grant or denial of a TCPA are accelerated.
Here's one analysis of it from the appeals court in Houston:
"Because the trial court granted the appellees' section 27.003 motion to dismiss on March 3, 2014 and issued its final judgment on March 25, 2014, Spencer's notice of appeal was due by April 14, 2014. Spencer, proceeding pro se, filed his notice of appeal on May 2, 2014, which was thirty-eight days after the final judgment was rendered. Hence, Spencer's notice of appeal was untimely. See Tex.R.App. P. 26.1(b), 26.3 ; K.A.F.,160 S.W.3d at 927." Spencer v. Pagliarulo, 448 S.W.3d 605, 606 (Tex. App. 2014).
So if it's right the date would start ticking upon the issuance of a final judgment, not the granting of the motion, which would be interlocutory. If it isn't, the date starts ticking earlier.
I wouldn't even bet on Chupp actually issuing a final judgment in anything like a timely fashion or possibly even knowing he should do it.
You'd have to be a fool to gamble on it since filing too early is completely harmless and filing too late is catastrophic.

I can't see Chupp trying some bullshit games where he leaves BHBH with less than 0 minutes to actually appeal. I can, however, see LawTwitter and perhaps one of the defendant's counsel unironically arguing that welp that's just how it works and sucks to be Vic but he can't appeal because he just absolutely can't.

Welp, it has happened - Vic's gonna appeal. Now I'll keep to my word and finally donate to the GFM putting my wallet where my mouth is and all that.
Hmm, how much should I throw into this...
EDIT: And done. I think I wrote a suitable comment saying what I wanted to say without overthinking it too much.
EDIT2: Let's be less exceptional and actually add the comment, dipshit. Way to ruin the mood.

I don't understand this season 2 shit. We're obviously going into season 3.
Season 1 started with the controversy in January, and ended with Kamehacon.
Season 2 picked up right after, and just ended with the appeals announcement.
We are entering season 3 my niggs.

In very slight defense of Douchette, he did predict all causes dismissed on TCPA. He must feel very smart right now.

I don't think Chupp can actually leave them without time to appeal; the statute pretty clearly gives them 20 days to appeal, and he's not really the person who gets to decide if they can appeal in the first place. The only way they can't appeal is if they, well, don't file the appeal; if that actually happens, I'd say that Ty & Co. would deserve every bit of the mockery they'd receive for it.

Best case: All causes make it through, we get to discovery.
Worst case: All causes are dropped and the case is officially lost for the last time.
Most likely case: Chupp gets told to either redo that fucked up trial and do his job, or they agree with some of his decisions and overturn others, the combination of which is debatable.
I'm partial to the last one, but I'm trying to keep expectations low, yet optimistic.

If Vic can make at least one cause per defendant it would be a win. Even if he ultimately loses at trial, we get discovery and a front row seat to all the slime the defendants keep hidden, plus laughs for days. Remember, even without a formal court order we've gotten Sacred Ointment, jellybean assault, casting couches, and honeytrap twins. Imagine what else turns up when the judge compels them to.
Alternatively, the defendants are scared shitless of discovery and settle favorably for Vic.

Don't they have to wait for Chupp to award legal fees + sanctions? I'm still half expecting Chupp to award the exact value of the GFM as Sanctions or somesuch. What happens if Chupp waits 20 days past the finding to award fees?
