There are numerous places in the Taz where R' David HaLevi Segal criticizes the opinions and writings of the R' Joel Sirkis (Bach) - who just so happened to be his father-in-law. See for example the last Taz in Ta'arovos.

Is there any record of the Bach responding to the Taz's criticisms? Either in his works, or works of others?

    Was he still alive when Taz was published?

    Good point. I got mixed up on the dates. Seems like Taz was published posthumously.

    Maybe he would have put out a book before the taz came out called 'strange things my son in law told me at the shabbos table and why he's wrong'.

I don't know of anywhere where the Bach sets out to address criticisms from the Taz, but he does mention/quote him on a number of occasions.

  • Yoreh Deiah siman 147
  • Shu"t (yeshanos) siman 74
  • Shu"t (yeshanos) siman 93
  • Shu"t (yeshanos) siman 94

Additionally, two of the Bach's teshuvos are to the Taz.

  • Shu"t (yeshanos) siman 113
  • Shu"t (chadashos) siman 54

(Perhaps there are others as well, for either category?)

    Seems more like a comment to DoubleAA than an answer.
