Kunstoplast of America, Inc. and Ashok K. Chauhan, Petitioners v. Formosa Plastics Corporation, USA, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a corporate officer who is not a licensed attorney may file cash deposits in lieu of cost bonds to perfect an appeal for both a corporation and an individual, and that the individual need not appear personally or be represented by an attorney for that purpose. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals' dismissal for lack of jurisdiction and remanded for further proceedings on the merits.
