Judy Murray, Petitioner v. Crest Construction, Inc., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that Crest's repudiation of the settlement agreement was an anticipatory breach permitting Murray to sue for breach of contract, that Murray's lien filing was privileged and not tortious interference, and that Murray was entitled to quantum meruit recovery for the partially performed Cooper and Borden jobs. The Court also found the trial court's exclusion of unexecuted written contracts harmless.
