Joe Teagarden and company has made some progress (albeit not as much as we would like) since we last wrote an article on our website. Joe is currently endeavoring to continue his fight with the current bootleggers to enforce all rights of the Teagarden estate. His most recent accomplishment is the court injunction against a major Canadian bootlegger (Joe Showler under Vernon Records) of Jack's music. He continues to refuse, acknowledge or compensate the Jack Teagarden estate. We are in the process of getting a permanent injunction against Joe Showler and all new associates.
