While on the Texas Supreme Court, Owen accepted campaign contributions from major corporations, including Enron and Halliburton, and then issued rulings in their favor. * In Montgomery Independent School District v. Davis, the Texas Supreme Court agreed with the right of a teacher, whose contract had been terminated, to be reinstated to his/her job after a state board hearing, even after the school board established additional findings and reinstated the firing. Owen dissented, holding that the board had a right to make the additional findings despite the state board's ruling. The court's majority said Owen's view was not even based on the applicable statute: ''Nowhere in the specific provisions of [the statute] has the Legislature provided for a school board to find facts in addition to those found by the hearing examiner." * When a liquor retailer sold alcohol to an obviously intoxicated customer, who then caused a car accident that permanently brain-damaged 9-year-old Ashley Duenez, Owen wanted to exonerate the liquor retailer.
