James M. Hughes and Patti Hughes, Petitioners v. Mahaney & Higgins, Robert M. Mahaney and Hugh B. Higgins, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the two‑year statute of limitations for a legal‑malpractice claim is tolled until all appeals of the underlying case are exhausted, so the Hugheses’ malpractice suit was not barred and the lower court’s summary‑judgment grant was reversed.
