Texas Supreme Court

I. David Porras, Petitioner v. A. B. Craig, Respondent

July 11, 198427 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 515

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for a new trial on damages, holding that the plaintiff's testimony was not evidence of market value and therefore no actual damages were proven. Because actual damages were unsupported, the exemplary damages award was also reversed, and the court instructed the trial court to allow proof of either a market‑value reduction or intrinsic‑value damages on remand.
