Jean M. Larson, Petitioner v. Cook Consultants, Inc. Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals’ judgment against Cook Consultants, holding that the jury’s finding that Larson lacked notice of the survey error was supported by evidence, and remanded for further determination; it affirmed the judgment for Stewart Title, upholding the instructed verdict that Stewart Title was not liable. Justice Spears, in a concurring and dissenting opinion, agreed with the majority on Cook but argued Stewart Title should be liable under the title insurance policy.
