Texas Supreme Court

Salvador Ramos, Petitioner v. Frito-Lay, Inc., Respondent

March 21, 1990784 S.W.2d 667

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and held that an employer may be liable for exemplary damages for the acts of a management‑level employee even when the employee is performing a non‑managerial task, and that failure to object to the omission of the managerial‑capacity element results in a deemed finding against the employer.
