Texas Supreme Court

American National Petroleum Company and Oil Investments, Ltd., Petitioners v. Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line…

November 28, 1990798 S.W.2d 274

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals' elimination of exemplary damages and remanded for further proceedings, holding that Transco's failure to object to the omission of a separate tort damages issue waived any error and that exemplary damages are unavailable without a distinct tort injury. The Court also affirmed that attorney's fees for the tort claim should not be deleted.
