Texas Supreme Court
John G. Sonnier and Hope Sonnier, Appellants v. Chisholm-Ryder Company, Inc., Unipunch Products, Inc., 3800…
October 5, 1995909 S.W.2d 475
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that a manufacturer of a tomato chopping machine does not obtain statute‑of‑repose protection under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.009 because it did not construct an improvement to real property, and that relocation of the machine does not restart the ten‑year repose period. A dissent argued the opposite, contending that the manufacturer should be covered.
