Have you had a chance yet to take some time off this summer? This week several members of our team took some much needed time off to recharge and spend time with their families. Still, we did manage to get some work done!

This week Miller, founder of Texas EquuSearch, won a default judgment in his 2014 wrongful death lawsuit filed against Clyde Edwin Hedrick. Galveston County judge Lonnie Cox granted Miller’s motion for default judgment on Monday and awarded him $24,365,471.23 in damages. Investigator Robert Arnold has this update.
