Rhett Campbell was featured in the August 7, 2006 edition of the Texas Lawyer in the article ""Speedy Prepack Bankruptcy Fuels Davis Petroleum.""

By the time Davis Petroleum Corp. hired Rhett Campbell and a team of bankruptcy lawyers at Thompson & Knight in February, the Houston-based oil and gas exploration company had a big need for cash and little time to get it.

Davis Petroleum had been working on a cash-infusion deal with a private equity company, but that proposed investment by Evercore Capital Partners hit a solid roadblock in early February. On Feb. 14, Davis Petroleum hired Thompson & Knight to explore other financial alternatives, including a Chapter 11 filing.
