Patrick, who will preside over the trial, will rely on former state appeals court Judge Marc Brown for advice during the proceedings.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick presides over on the Senate floor during the first day of the second special session at the state Capitol in Austin on June 28, 2023.
Patrick serves as the presiding officer of the trial — effectively the judge — and trial rules give him the option of selecting his own legal counsel. Patrick said Friday he tapped Brown “after several months of searching.” The trial rules, which the Senate approved in June, say that the presiding officer “may select legal counsel licensed in the State of Texas who is not a registered lobbyist in this State.”
