Montelongo v. Abrea, 622 S.W.3d 290 (Tex. 2021)

The underlying dispute involves over 300 plaintiffs suing Montelongo for fraud based on real estate investment educational seminars he sold to plaintiffs.  I was only involved on appeal with regard to the anti-slapp MTD:  The Texas Supreme Court concluded that the court of appeals erred in concluding that Montelongo's TCPA motion to dismiss was untimely.  The Court held that if a party amends a petition to add a cause of action, even if the underlying facts remain the same, the time period for filing a TCPA motion to dismiss as to the newly added claims is reset.
