In Texas, the elements of libel as defamation are: (1) false and defamatory words (2) published to a third person (3) that defamed the plaintiff (4) while either acting with actual malice or negligence regarding the truth of the statement. An organization may be liable for the defamatory utterances of its agent that are made while acting within the scope of the agent’s authority. A statement is defamatory if it tends to injure a living persons reputation and thereby expose the person to public hatred, contempt or ridicule, or financial injury or to impeach any persons honesty, integrity, virtue, or reputation. ------------------------- David Ethredge attorney breaking the law, has done ALL of this. I guess it is a good thing he is NOT in Texas.
