Roman Hernandez, Petitioner v. F. W. Heldenfels, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and affirmed the trial court, holding that the contractor Heldenfels owed a duty of reasonable care to Hernandez, an employee of the property owner, because both were invitees with equal rights to use the roadway, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the corrected deposition or denying a continuance.
