T. J. Ewing, Jr., Independent Executors and Trustees of George H. Hermann, Deceased v. Wm. L. Foley, Inc.

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and affirmed the district court, holding that a trust estate is liable for damages caused by a trustee's negligent agent when the trustee exercised due diligence, that the injured party may sue the estate directly, and that interest on the awarded damages is proper.
