Mozelle Corley Turner, Petitioners v. Genevieve J. Turner, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals' award of $30,000 attorney's fees to Pat Corley, holding he is not entitled to recover fees from his former wife Mozelle, and affirmed the remainder of the judgment. The Court also held that Mozelle's waiver of a timely disqualification motion barred her claim of counsel conflict, and that the statute of limitations did not bar the alienation of affections claim. Justice SMITH dissented, arguing Pat should recover his fees.
