Texas Supreme Court
M. Dobbins v. Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company of Texas.
May 24, 189738 L.R.A. 573
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals' reversal, holding that the railroad owed no common‑law duty to a child who entered a water pool on its right‑of‑way without invitation, and that Art. 4436, Rev. Stats. does not impose a duty to prevent water accumulation. Accordingly, the plaintiff recovered nothing.
