Texas Supreme Court

Margaret U. Williams and David E. Williams, Petitioners v. Stephen Glash, Respondent

May 30, 1990789 S.W.2d 261

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the appellate court and held that a release signed for property damage does not bar a later suit for an unknown personal injury where mutual mistake exists, and remanded for further proceedings. Justice Doggett’s majority opinion was contested by Justice Spears’ dissent, which would have affirmed the release.
