Apex Towing Company, Apex Barge Company, and Apex Oil Company, Petitioners v. William M. Tolin, Iii, Benckenstein &…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reaffirmed the Hughes tolling rule, holding that the statute of limitations for legal‑malpractice claims is tolled until the underlying litigation is finally concluded, including exhaustion of appeals. It rejected the view that Murphy modified that rule and reversed and remanded the Court of Appeals judgment granting summary judgment on limitations.
