A new Texas Business Court ruling is raising an important question: when a non-attorney uses ChatGPT to prepare for litigation, can those AI prompts and responses be protected from discovery?

In this episode of IntoTexas AI, Shannon Belew looks at the Texas ruling and what it says — and does not say — about ChatGPT, attorney-client privilege, and protected work product. The episode also explores the broader role of AI in the justice system, from court filing rules and fake AI-generated citations to judges using AI tools, Lone Star Legal Aid’s chatbot project, and the growing need for human accountability in courts.

AI is already entering the legal system. But courts are sending a clear message: you can use AI, but you are still responsible.

Topics covered:
- ChatGPT prompts and legal discovery
- AI-generated legal citations and court filing rules
- Judges using AI for summaries, research, and hearing preparation
- Lone Star Legal Aid’s AI chatbot project
- Why human oversight still matters in the justice system

IntoTexas AI explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping business, government, infrastructure, education, and daily life across Texas.
