EXPERT WITNESS REPORTING FORM: LITIGATION INVOLVING THE STATE OF TEXAS<BR>
</B> <BR>
State law (Ed. Code § 61.0815) requires public colleges and universities to gather and report data to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board regarding service by certain employees as consulting or testifying expert witnesses in lawsuits in which the State of Texas is a party. This applies only to civil cases, not criminal matters. A form should be completed for each lawsuit in which expert witness services were rendered and forwarded to the Office of General Counsel. <BR>
