Texas judge allows lawsuit against Selena widower to proceed


Selena - No Me Queda Mas

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) A Texas judge says a lawsuit against the widower of slain Tejano star Selena can proceed as her father seeks to block a TV series about her.

Selenas father, Abraham Quintanilla, opposes the show. Its based on what he calls an unauthorized book, to selena With Love, by Selenas husband, Chris Perez.

Lawyers for Perez wanted the lawsuit dismissed based on free speech grounds. They had no immediate comment on Fridays ruling.

Quintanilla is suing Perez and two companies planning to adapt the widowers memoir into a series. The lawsuit says that after Selenas 1995 slaying, Perez signed a deal that gave all rights to Selenas likeness and name to her estate.

Selena Quintanilla-Perez was shot by her fan club president, now serving life in prison.
