Texas Supreme Court

Dr. Guillermo Salinas and Dr. Abel E. Salazar, Petitioners v. Dr. S.a. Rafati and Wife Zena Rafati, Respondents

June 27, 199740 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 753

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that goodwill attributable to individual physicians is not a partnership asset subject to division upon dissolution and that the jury's $1,428,000 award for Dr. Rafati's partnership interest lacked evidentiary support. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals in part and remanded for determination of Rafati's share of the tangible partnership assets.
