Texas Supreme Court

J. Peyton Hunter, Jr., Petitioners v. Fort Worth Capital Corporation, Respondents

July 15, 198124 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 500

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Article 7.12 of the Texas Business Corporation Act bars the application of the equitable trust fund theory to post‑dissolution claims, so the plaintiff cannot recover against the former shareholders for injuries that occurred after the corporation dissolved. The Court affirmed the trial court’s summary judgment and reversed the Court of Civil Appeals.
