Texas Supreme Court

Josefina Gracia, Petitioner v. Rc Cola-7-Up Bottling Co., Respondents

April 4, 198427 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 318

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s take‑nothing summary judgments and remanded, holding that Josefina Gracia’s loss‑of‑consortium claim is not barred by res judicata or accord and satisfaction because she was only a next friend in the prior suit and the settlement did not purport to settle all claims.
