Texas Supreme Court
Mrs. Lily Benson v. Wanda…
May 12, 197114 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 358
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court reversed the summary judgment in favor of Wanda Petroleum and remanded the case for trial, holding that the prior judgment in the Porter suit does not preclude Mrs. Lily Benson from pursuing her own personal injury claim because no privity exists between her and the parties in the earlier action.
