Fifth Circuit Report: June 2015

This month's Fifth Circuit report doesn't have a lot of bankruptcy sizzle:  an interesting case on abstention and remand,  two unpublished cases about how not to reserve a claim under a plan and a case about suing a trustee.   However, there are some fascinating cases about lenders, liens, fraudulent transfers, the Texas Debt Collection Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.    The big news here is that the Fifth Circuit vacated its Golf Channel decision and instead certified the question to the Texas Supreme Court.   Here are June's decisions.   (Click on the style of the case to go to the actual opinions).
