Texas Supreme Court
Vincent A. Brown, Petitioner v. Bank of Galveston, National Association, Respondent
February 13, 199841 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 437
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals judgment, holding that Vincent Brown could not recover under the Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act because the Bank's actions were not the producing cause of his damages and did not constitute a DTPA violation. The Court also affirmed the deficiency judgment and the award of attorney's fees, and found the mechanic's lien to be valid and enforceable.
