@@@ Assistant Attorney General Amanda K. Hudson informed the parties in the ongoing dispute that the attorney general 鈥渋s a proper party to such action and may intervene on the behalf of the public鈥檚 interest in <a href=http://www.cicviseu.net/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Hunter-Wellingtons>Jimmy Choo Hunter Wellingtons</a> charity.鈥?

She said she is reviewing documents to determine if the attorney general鈥檚 participation is warranted.
Baylor sued the BAA in June in the latest salvo between the two sides. The BAA has pledged to file a countersuit, but as of Monday, its attorney said it had not yet been served with Baylor鈥檚 suit, filed in early June in Waco鈥檚 74th State District Court.
鈥淩ight now, everyone is taking a deep breath and trying to figure out where things go from here,鈥?said J.D. Pauerstein, the San Antonio attorney who represents the BAA.
Lauren Bean, deputy communications director for the attorney general鈥檚 office, said that under the Texas Property Code, the AG鈥檚 office must be given notice of all 鈥減roceedings involving a charitable trust.鈥?
鈥淎t this time, the attorney general鈥檚 office is strictly monitoring this case and currently has no plans to get involved in this litigation,鈥?she said.
Baylor, saying it has severed licensing agreements with the BAA, is seeking to prevent the group from using the university鈥檚 name.
The BAA has countered that those agreements, which also allowed the BAA to operate as Baylor鈥檚 official alumni organization, are in effect in perpetuity and cannot be terminated.
Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman referred questions about the attorney general鈥檚 possible involvement in the lawsuit to a section of Baylor鈥檚 petition that says litigants must notify the attorney general鈥檚 office in cases involving charitable trusts.
A transition agreement drafted by Baylor regents and a group <a href=http://architectscanterbury.co.uk/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Jeans-Becky>Mens True Religion Jeans</a>  of elected BAA leaders and members of the board, which would have dissolved the organizations鈥?charter, failed to gain enough votes from alumni association members to pass. Those leaders and several other association board members resigned after the vote failed.
鈥淲e have tried for several years now to reach an agreement with the university that enables us to preserve our name, the title of our magazine, the Baylor Line, and keeps our commitment to thousands of Baylor alumni,鈥?BAA President Keith Starr said when the lawsuit was filed.
鈥淗owever, the university has rejected our attempts at peace for over a decade and has chosen to continue its efforts to marginalize the BAA, up to and including suing its officially recognized alumni organization,鈥?he said.
Starr, no relation to Baylor <a href=http://www.cicviseu.net/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Home>Tory Burch Home</a>  President Ken Starr, deferred comment Monday to Pauerstein.
Pauerstein said Monday that litigants involved in cases involving charitable trusts are required by law to notify the attorney general鈥檚 office.
鈥淗istorically, when I have been involved in cases where the attorney general鈥檚 office has been notified, they only intervene if it is perceived the particular charity is one that involves a lot of public interests. They may choose to intervene, but since it is a Baylor-oriented entity, I tend to think not,鈥?Pauerstein said.
Baylor alleges in the lawsuit that the BAA has 鈥渁bandoned its charitable purposes鈥?as outlined in the association鈥檚 bylaws, including raising money for student scholarships.
The suit highlights a $1 million scholarship pledge from the BAA in February 2013 that was not completed.
The BAA, however, says it was not completed because of the dispute surrounding the transition agreement. Keith Starr said after the lawsuit was filed that the BAA has not abandoned its charitable purpose, but it has been impeded by Baylor.
