William F. Callejo v. Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, Inc., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's judgment, holding that the court properly disregarded the jury's post‑taking value finding under Texas Rule 301 because no evidence supported that value, and therefore upheld the $422,620 judgment for Callejo. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and noted that future condemnation cases should be submitted broadly under Rule 277. Two dissenting opinions argued that the jury's verdict should have been upheld and that the majority improperly applied the no‑evidence test.
