Grand Prairie Independent School District and City of Grand Prairie, Petitioners v. Southern Parts Imports, Inc…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a court of appeals may not dismiss an appeal for failure to perfect the appeal with a bond without first giving the appellant a reasonable opportunity to correct the defect. It reversed the dismissal of the Grand Prairie Independent School District’s appeal, affirmed the dismissal of the City of Grand Prairie’s appeal, and remanded for further proceedings.
