Texas Supreme Court

Southeastern Pipe Line Company, Inc. v. Frances Tichacek, Respondents

September 9, 1999997 S.W.2d 166

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the jury questions on drainage were erroneous because they failed to account for the validly formed Leveridge No. 5 Unit and that the errors were defective rather than immaterial, entitling the lessors to a new trial on the drainage claim. The court reversed the appellate court’s judgment in part and remanded for further proceedings.
