Texas Supreme Court
Motel 6 G.p., Inc., and Motel 6 Operating L.p., a Delaware Limited Partnership, D/b/a Motel 6, Petitioners v. Maria…
June 28, 199639 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 880
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that Motel 6 owed no duty to Lopez because it lacked actual or constructive knowledge of a dangerous shower condition, and therefore reversed the Court of Appeals and entered judgment that Lopez recover nothing. The Court also rejected the notion that Lopez’s safety‑device allegation created a separate premises‑liability claim or a products‑liability claim against the hotel.
