Texas Supreme Court Silently Denies Alex Jones All Forms of Relief: Sandy Hook Families and Others Can Now Sue Conspiracy Theorist and InfoWars into the Ground
An empire built on conjecture, conspiracy and a series of fake homeopathic cures for various ailments stands to be sued into oblivion after a Friday ruling by the Supreme Court of Texas.
Without comment, the Lone Star State’s highest civil court found that America’s foremost conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones, and his flagship media outlet, InfoWars, are subject to liability in four separate defamation lawsuits filed over the past two-plus years. Those lawsuits were filed by parents of children who were killed during the Sandy Hook massacre and by a man Jones and his network falsely identified as the perpetrator of the Parkland massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Each of the four lawsuits were filed in Travis County, the largest of three counties contained in the City of Austin, the Texas state capitol. With an ever-present image in the once-sleepy college town home to the nation’s leading “Public Ivy,” the University of Texas, Jones is something of a household name after spreading the false gospel for well over two decades after getting his start in the freewheeling world of public-access cable programming.
Jones took a turn toward conspiracy following Timothy McVeigh’s 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The bombastic host accused the government of orchestrating the grisly incident—naturally, with no evidence—and never looked back.

Alex Jones is about to reach justice. This just broke this morning.
All the legal “experts” across the country said Little Bubba would never get this case past the Texas Supreme Court (all Republican) and for that reason it was foolish of him to file it in Texas. Not just the Sandy Hook parents, but both the cases Little Bubba filed on Jones have been upheld.
