Truman O’neil v. Mack Trucks, Inc., and Mack Financial…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court granted a writ of error to decide whether a point of error framed as a ‘no evidence’ allegation can invoke appellate jurisdiction, and to resolve the substantive business homestead claim. The Court held that such a point does invoke jurisdiction, reversed the lower courts’ foreclosure judgment, and affirmed O’Neil’s claim that the 4.09‑acre tract was his protected business homestead.
