Vortt Exploration Company, Inc., Petitioner v. Chevron U.S.A., Inc., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court's factual findings satisfied the fourth element of a quantum meruit claim, establishing that Chevron was reasonably notified of Vortt's expectation of payment for seismic services, and therefore reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further consideration. Justice Hecht dissented, arguing that no such notice existed and that the appellate judgment should be affirmed.
