William J. Williams, Petitioner v. George Khalaf, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the fraud counterclaim filed by Williams in 1986 is not barred by the statute of limitations because the 1979 amendment to the limitations statutes established a four‑year period for fraud actions and section 16.068 saves amended pleadings relating to the same transaction. The case was remanded for the Court of Appeals to consider the factual sufficiency of the jury’s fraud findings.
