Charles Satterfield, Petitioner v. Jess Satterfield, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Jess Satterfield was not a "guest" under Article 6701b while riding in his own automobile driven by his son, and that Billy John Marshall was not a joint tort-feasor entitled to contribution under Article 2212. The Court also affirmed that the lower courts' rulings were proper because the issue of a joint enterprise was not preserved for review. The judgments of the trial court and Court of Civil Appeals were therefore affirmed.
