Andrew K. Lofton, Petitioner v. Texas Brine Corporation, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that it lacks jurisdiction to review the factual sufficiency of evidence in a negligence case and that the Court of Appeals applied an incorrect legal standard in its review, so the Court reversed the appellate judgment and remanded for further consideration. Justices Hecht and Gonzalez dissented, arguing the Constitution bars the Supreme Court from second‑guessing the appellate court’s factual determinations.
