Wendy Davis, Rick Perry & Jesse Owens

Wendy Davis had three lawyers defending her right to challenge Republican Kim Brimer for his state senate seat: Chad Dunn with the Texas Demoratic Party, Renea Hicks, a lawyer for Tarrant County Democratic Chair Art Brender, and Buck Woods, for Davis.

Making the firefighters’ case to the Second Court of Appeals was Craig Deats, an Austin-based lawyer with the Texas Fire Fighters Association.

Each side was granted 20 minutes to make their case before a panel of three judges: John Cayce, Dixon Holman and Sue Walker. All three are Republicans.

Here's a rundown of all 49 minutes.
