Texas Beef Cattle Company, Petitioners v. Jeff Green

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that a civil suit underlying a malicious prosecution claim does not terminate in the plaintiff's favor until the appeal is exhausted, that the special injury requirement demands an interference with the plaintiff's person or property, and that a finding of actual malice does not defeat a justification defense in tortious interference. Justice Gonzalez dissented, arguing that the lower court's judgment should be affirmed.
