The Supreme Court of Texas is set to hear oral arguments in this unique libel case. It would be a rare example of “libel tourism,” because the U.S. offers greater protections than Mexico. It’s a jurisdiction question because the defendants operate in Mexico but broadcast across the border to to McAllen, where Trevi now lives. If she prevails what level of fault would she have to prove?

Mexican pop singer Gloria Trevi, the “Mexican Madonna,” won a key pre-trial round in her five-year defamation lawsuit against the celebrity journalist Pati Chapoy and TV Azteca.
