Could it be that Express Energy is no stranger to a courtroom? Could it also be true that Express Energy is not only appearing in court for bankruptcy proceedings, but also for MULTIPLE violations of employment discrimination, personal injury negligence, breach of contract and well...you name it, they've done it! (look on page 253)It's a good thing that Express Energy didn't inflict any personal injury on our very own Eyes on Texas... Durango, but looking at the most recent court filings...I wouldn't put it past them.
There are multiple cases filed with the EEOC for all kinds of employment violations including, but not limited to:
Sexual discrimination, retaliation, age discrimination, racial discrimination, and violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Then there are several health and safety suits filed by the Department of Labor. Under these are the personal injury suits filed against Express Energy.
One court case in particular caught my eye: Defamation and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress Case No. CV-09-04-338

As hard as I looked I couldn't find anything out about this one. Maybe a person in Wise County can go and check this out.
