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 special injury requires an interference with person or property, and that a finding of actual malice does not defeat a justification defense in tortious interference. The Court also reversed the judgment for the plaintiff on both claims, granting judgment to Texas Beef and O’Brien.
