Jimmy Shelton, Petitioner v. Standard Insurance Company, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the district court's summary judgment and remanded the case, holding that Jimmy Shelton's injury occurred in the course of his employment. The Court found that the travel to obtain food was sufficiently related to his contractual duties and that the employee‑versus‑independent‑contractor question was a factual issue, not a matter of law for summary judgment.
