Texas Law - May the Court Award Attorneys' Fees. The court may award attorney's fees. That is, the court may order one party to pay some or all of the other party's attorney's fees. Cases: Grossnickle (1996) 935 SW2d 830 (it was all right for court to decline to award attorney's fees, concluding that the use of community funds for attorney's fees was approximately equal between the two parties). Parker (1995) 897 SW2d 918 (when there were several interrelated causes of action, the court did not have to separately assign attorneys' fees for each one; also, attorneys' fees, if awarded as part of a property settlement, can be awarded to the party in need of financial support, regardless of the outcome of the case on the merits at trial or on an appeal; but attorneys' fees awarded based on the cause of action, must make the award conditional on the paying party losing the cause of action).
