Diamond Shamrock Refining and Marketing Company, Petitioner v. Roque Mendez, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals’ judgment on the false‑light invasion of privacy claim, holding that the claim requires an actual‑malice element which the plaintiff failed to prove, and remanded for a new trial on that issue. The Court affirmed the appellate judgment that the employer did not intentionally inflict emotional distress because the conduct was not outrageous.
