Stewart Title Guaranty Company, Petitioner v. Roger N. Aiello and Evelyn S. Aiello, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Stewart Title's duty of good faith and fair dealing ended when the parties signed and the court entered the agreed judgment, vacating the Aiellos' exemplary and mental anguish damages and their reduced attorney's fees award, while affirming Stewart Title's breach of contract counterclaim and its attorney's fees. The Court also rejected treble damages under the Insurance Code and DTPA, and remanded for a judgment consistent with these holdings.
