A U.S. judge schedules a March 2025 trial in Texas suit against Google. U.S. District Judge Sean Jordan sets a federal trial date for the lawsuit claiming Google abused their market power. Texas asks for an August 2024 trial, but judge starts March jury selection. Google has denied any wrongdoing and is accused of violating antitrust laws within the Texas case.

Texas has sued Google and 16 other states accusing them of violating antitrust laws. Similarly, advertisers, publishers, and small businesses are contesting Google’s digital ad practices in federal courts in New York and Virginia. The three cases were filed against Google in 2020, and each accuses Google of abuse in online advertising or online search areas.

Google is under multiple suits, with trials concurrently occurring in federal courts. Google has also faced a lawsuit that involves its app store and antitrust claims. Additionally, Google settled another suit for $700 million with U.S. states and consumers and implemented new or expanded app store features to allow for greater competition. On the other hand, Google faces a trial in California over an antitrust lawsuit from “Fortnite” maker Epic Games regarding Google’s app store.

The case is State of Texas et al v. Google LLC, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, No. 4:20-cv-00957-SDJ. W. Mark Lanier of The Lanier Law Firm and Ashley Keller of Keller Postman represent the plaintiffs, while R. Paul Yetter of Yetter Coleman, Eric Mahr of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, and Daniel Bitton of Axinn Veltrop & Harkrider represent Google.
