| 8 | Serial Amendment Strategy | Threshold | Moderate | Kassab filed 9 answer versions over 4 years, continually reshaping defenses. | Amendments were proper responses to evolving claims and discovery; leave not required for answers. | Serial amendments were dilatory, designed to create moving targets, and prejudiced Pohl’s trial preparation. | Court permitted all amendments but none altered outcome. 8th amended answer was final version at trial. | Not independently appealable. Pattern cited as evidence of bad faith litigation conduct. | Tex. R. Civ. P. 63, 66. |
