Documents recently filed online show the case officially being reopened

A personal injury lawsuit filed more than three years ago by a woman accusing Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones of sexual assault is scheduled to go to a jury trial in March, according to recently filed court documents.

The lawsuit was initially filed in Dallas County in 2020 and dismissed in February 2022 but a state appellate court reversed that decision this past February and allowed the case to continue. Jones’ legal team made a final appeal to dismiss the case but the Supreme Court of Texas ruled in September that it should continue.

The case status — which was listed as “closed” after the initial dismissal — now says “re-opened” on the online Dallas County courts docket.

Court documents show a jury trial is scheduled for March 18, 2024, in the 160th Civil District Court. Aiesha Redmond is the judge presiding over the case.
