Texas Supreme Court
Lefmark Management Company, Petitioner v. Winona Old
May 16, 199740 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 577
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that Lefmark Management Company, as a former property manager who lacked control of the shopping center at the time of the armed robbery, owed no duty of care to Winona Old's husband, and therefore reversed the Court of Appeals and entered judgment for Lefmark. Justice Owen filed a concurring opinion emphasizing that the Court's general statements on duty do not define the precise scope of liability for criminal acts.
