HOW ESTOPPEL LIVES IN TEXAS IN THE 21st CENTURY.

Editing.  (LexisNexis)

"It is well established that as an equitable doctrine, estoppel requires that one who comes into equity must come with clean hands. If not, the doors of equity are closed to one tainted with inequitableness or bad faith relative to the matter in which he seeks relief, however improper the behavior of the other party may have been."   Nasser v. Fin. of Am. Reverse LLC, NO. 4:18-CV-4695, 2021 WL 966007, at *3 (S.D. Tex. March 15, 2021) (emphasis added).

           That said, the federal judge denied a motion to strike a new or amended complaint because of the strange and convoluted history of amendments and complaints and orders involved in that case.  The denial was without prejudice and the judge specifically wrote that if the motion was brought up again, it could be ruled on at trial.

           Unresolved intimations of bad faith in the eyes of that judge, it seems.
