Mobil Chemical Company, Petitioner v. Edward L. Bell, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals' judgment remanding the case for a new trial, holding that the plaintiffs successfully invoked the res ipsa loquitur doctrine and that the trial court was not required to submit separate subissues on the doctrine. The Court also rejected Mobil's attempt to obtain a judgment in its favor because no writ of error was filed. Justice Daniel filed a concurring opinion agreeing with the result.
