Texas Supreme Court

Jorge H. Trevino, M.d. v. Genaro Ortega

July 3, 1998969 S.W.2d 950

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Texas does not recognize an independent cause of action for intentional or negligent spoliation of evidence, reversing the Court of Appeals and entering judgment for the defendant. Justice Baker concurred, agreeing with the result but arguing that existing remedies may be inadequate and should be examined more closely.
